This presents an opportunity for long-term investors seeking exposure to Indian markets. With the establishment of the AMC’s branch at GIFT City, we seek to create a global gateway for investors to participate in India through equities, fixed income, alternatives, and hybrid offerings.”

The IFSC Branch is intended to serve as a hub to facilitate engagement with global investors. By leveraging GIFT City’s infrastructure and IFSCA’s globally benchmarked regulatory framework, the IFSC Branch seeks to deliver seamless, transparent, and tax-efficient access to India’s capital markets.
