Mumbai-based wealth and asset management firm Neo has successfully raised Rs 32 crore (approximately $4 million) via private placement in its first round of investment for 2024. The funding round saw participation from Morde Foods, SN Damani Developers, and Bridgemonte Advisors.
The board at Neo passed a special resolution to issue 1,226 equity shares at an issue price of Rs 2,60,799 each, raising Rs 32 crore (approximately $3.85 million), according to regulatory filings accessed from the Registrar of Companies (RoC).
Morde Foods invested Rs 20 crore, while SN Damani Developers and Bridgemonte Advisors contributed Rs 10 crore and Rs 2 crore respectively. The funds are earmarked for growth and business operations.
Following the fresh infusion of capital, Morde Foods holds a 1.48% stake in Neo, while SN Damani Developers and Bridgemonte Advisors command 0.74% and 0.15% stakes, respectively. According to TheKredible’s estimates, Neo’s valuation post-allotment stands at around Rs 1,349 crore ($162.5 million).
This latest round brings Neo’s total raised capital to approximately $78 million, including a $35 million Series B round led by Peak XV (formerly Sequoia Capital) in October last year.
Founded by Nitin Jain, Neo offers advisory and yield-based investment solutions to its clientele, which includes some of India’s top billionaires. The company prides itself on delivering these solutions in a transparent and cost-effective manner.
Neo claims to have more than $3 billion (approximately Rs 25,000 crore) in assets under advisement (AUA), including $360 million (around Rs 3,000 crore) in assets under management (AUM).
The company showcased significant growth in the fiscal year ending March 2023, demonstrating a 9X increase in revenue to Rs 65.1 crore, with a loss of only Rs 3.6 crore. Neo is yet to file its annual report for FY24.
