Thesis
Carpediem Capital is a Mumbai-based private equity firm founded in 2015, focusing on the Indian consumption and services sectors. They target Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) with revenues between ₹30-200 crores, aiming to provide institutional capital and operational support for sustainable growth. Their strategy centers on the "India consumption opportunity," investing in companies creating consumer brands or organizing fragmented service sectors. Carpediem Capital prefers significant minority stakes (26%+) but may acquire majority stakes. Their investment theses cover conscious consumerism, healthcare access in smaller cities, and capital efficiency for SMEs. The firm manages approximately $100 million in AUM for its first fund and has raised ₹700 crore (approx. $85 million) for its second fund, Carpediem Capital Partners Fund II, intending to deploy it across 7-8 companies. Typical ticket sizes range from $2-5 million. They have achieved significant returns, such as 4.76x from Biryani Blues (via Rebel Foods) and a 9x return from Flipspaces.
