India<\/strong>-based venture-capital firm <\/strong>Cedar-IBSi Capital<\/a><\/strong> has received a limited-partner (LP) commitment from Abu Dhabi\u2019s <\/strong>KSH Investments<\/a><\/strong> for its debut FinTech fund, according to a press release<\/a>. KSH Investments is the strategic global investment and wealth-management arm of the Private Department of Mohamed bin Khalid Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

Fund details: <\/strong>Launched in 2023, the fund targets an up to INR 2.6 bn (up to USD 30 mn) ticket size and focuses on B2B and enterprise software for financial services. It builds on the banking-technology legacy of Cedar consulting and IBS Intelligence.<\/p>\n

Commitment and advisers: <\/strong>The LP commitment from KSH Investment was described as sizable, with financial terms undisclosed. The partnership aims to tap the Indian and regional FinTech ecosystem, leveraging Cedar\u2019s sector expertise. Finmark Capital (DIFC) and Profit Financial Advisory acted as strategic advisers to the transaction.<\/p>\n

Existing backers + strategy:<\/strong> The fund completed its first close in 2024 and is already backed by Indian institutional investors including Muthoot Finance, IIFL Capital, and a number of family offices. It plans to invest up to INR 88 mn (up to USD 1 mn) per company in 10-15 early-stage FinTech startups. Current portfolio companies include intelligent-document-processing firm Cogniquest<\/a> and an incentive-compensation software firm WonderLend Hubs<\/a>, with a third investment currently under evaluation. <\/p>\n

Outlook: <\/strong>The fund expects a final close by end-2025. Founder and Managing Partner Sahil Anand said the partnership will strengthen cross-border collaboration in financial-technology investment between India and the UAE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
