00:00 – 00:10

The world is changing from a monopolar world to a multipolar world. And in this dynamic world, India has navigated the challenges of the recent past—

00:10 – 00:18

whether it is supply chain disruptions, wars, or the COVID pandemic—extremely well, with policies which are forward-looking,

00:18 – 00:25

not only for the development of the country, but also commitments to areas such as climate change.

00:25 – 00:33

At Kotak Alts, we see these policies as opportunities, and we have set up multiple platforms to capitalize on these opportunities,

00:33 – 00:42

whether it is in real estate, data centers, private credit, or private equity. Kotak Alts was set up in 2005

00:42 – 00:51

to actually give a sharper focus to the alternative asset management business. And we are thankful for all the support that all of you have given us so far.

00:51 – 00:59

Our relationship is based on transparency, trust, and integrity, and we intend to build on this relationship further

00:59 – 01:06

by coming up with newer and more interesting opportunities that India will continue to throw up going forward.

01:06 – 01:14

We believe that this is the century where India will claim its place where it truly belongs.
