Additionally, Neo Assets Management, the company's AMC arm, announced the first close of its ₹2,000 Cr secondaries private equity fund at ₹750 Cr in August last year. This fund aims to invest in 12-15 startups across various sectors, including BFSI, healthcare, consumer, IT/ITeS, industrials, and services, with investment sizes ranging from ₹50 Cr to ₹250 Cr per startup.

Financially, Neo Group reported a revenue increase of 2.7 times year-on-year, reaching ₹177 Cr in FY24, while net losses expanded to ₹13.7 Cr during the same period. The company has yet to disclose its FY25 financial results.
