LeapFrog Investments

A successful partial exit with significant impact – congratulations to Northern Arc Capital on their IPO! 🔔 LeapFrog was proud to be the first institutional investor to back Northern Arc in 2014, supporting the rapid expansion of its non-bank lending platform to serve India’s low-income households and businesses. Together, we’ve achieved remarkable progress. Since our first investment, Northern Arc’s share price has increased 6x (local currency), and assets under management have grown 22x to $1.4 billion. Their proprietary lending technology has facilitated over $20 billion in credit, reaching 101 million people, half of whom are low-income consumers. This week’s successful partial exit values LeapFrog’s investment at over 3x invested capital— a true testament to the hard work and vision of Michael Fernandes, Pranav Kumar, and Rishikesh Bagri among many others. We’re excited to continue our journey with Northern Arc, retaining a 16% stake, and look forward to supporting the team in this new chapter as a listed company. https://lnkd.in/ggcGTBsX #IPO #India #CapitalMarkets Ashish Mehrotra
