Catamaran shifts investment strategy to Indian manufacturing supply chain
What happened
Catamaran is shifting its investment strategy toward growth-stage manufacturing and supply-chain businesses in India. The firm is building a manufacturing thesis aimed at establishing global competitiveness in India’s supply chain, specifically across aerospace, electronics, electric vehicle components, and medical devices. These investments typically range between ₹50 crore and ₹250 crore, with Catamaran acting as a minority investor with strategic intent.
Why it matters
This strategic pivot supports the trend of American companies investing in India to establish new manufacturing bases outside of China. Catamaran is providing patient capital to companies looking to expand into new geographies or build additional factories.
American companies began investing in India since May 2019 as a new manufacturing base, seeking alternatives to China's dominant manufacturing sector.
