Steptrade Capital has emerged as one of the most active domestic anchor investors, deploying around Rs 177 crore across 63 IPOs in the past 24 months.
With an average listing gain of 35 per cent, the firm’s balanced investments, Rs 100 crore in mainboard IPOs and Rs 77 crore in SME issues, highlight the growing influence of domestic institutional capital in India’s primary markets.
The allocations were made through Steptrade’s flagship funds, Chanakya Opportunities Fund I and Steptrade Revolution Fund I, which focus on scalable, governance-led early-stage enterprises across infrastructure, renewable energy, logistics, recycling, and infotech sectors.
Together, the funds have anchored IPOs of companies like Quality Power Electrical Equipments, Fabtech Technologies Cleanrooms, Prostarm Info Systems, Maxvolt Energy, and SAR Televentures.
Commenting on the firm’s approach, Kresha Gupta, Director and Fund Manager, Steptrade Capital, said, “These SMEs and microcaps are tomorrow’s market leaders. By backing them early, we enable scale and governance that create long-term value.”
Steptrade Capital manages Rs 350 crore in AUM across multiple SEBI-registered platforms, including AIF, PMS, and FPI vehicles, and continues to expand its presence in India’s alternative investment landscape.
Through its strategic anchor participation, the firm is helping deepen India’s capital markets and reinforce SMEs and microcaps as critical engines of the nation’s $5-trillion economic ambition.
