  • Bain to acquire approximately 22 percent stake from VP Nandakumar, Manappuram Finance's founder and MD & CEO and come up with an open offer to increase stake to 42 percent

Bain Capital is reportedly in advanced discussions to acquire a significant majority stake in Manappuram Finance, a prominent Indian non-banking financial company known for its gold loan services. The deal, which could value Manappuram at approximately $1.5 billion, involves Bain potentially buying out shares from the company's promoter, V.P. Nandakumar, and other investors. This move comes as part of Bain's strategy to invest in the rapidly growing Indian financial sector, particularly in firms with strong fundamentals and market presence like Manappuram, which has been expanding its offerings beyond gold loans into microfinance, vehicle finance, and housing finance. The transaction, if completed, would mark one of the significant private equity investments in India's financial services sector, highlighting the attractiveness of such companies to global investors.
