Mars Growth Capital

Mars Growth Capital and LIQUiDITY Group are proud to continue our partnership with Infra.Market, with an additional investment of USD 50M into its Singapore arm, taking the total investment to USD 100M. “Liquidity is using technology to transform capital credit markets with unrivaled speed and accuracy. At each step in the process, our evaluation of Infra.Market showed a company delivering on its promise to remake construction and infrastructure projects across India and beyond,” said Ron Daniel, co-founder and CEO and Liquidity Group. Souvik Sengupta and team have been instrumental in building the business to where it is today. This transaction is also a testament to our continued belief in Singapore being an ideal hub for the global expansion of technology startups from India and the wider region.

🌟Australia Is the Latest Startup Hotspot 🚀 Australia is rapidly becoming a global hotspot for tech startups and scale-ups, boasting success stories like Canva and Airwallex. A key driver of this growth? The rise of venture debt financing. Venture debt offers non-dilutive capital, meaning it doesn't dilute existing shareholders' stakes. This is a game-changer for companies not yet ready for senior bank debt but seeking to diversify their capital and lower overall costs. Take Ofload, for example. This logistics market leader, backed by Jungle Ventures, King River Capital, Mars Growth Capital and others secured a $60 million Series B last year with a considerable portion coming from venture debt. LIQUiDITY Group is expanding into the region and is excited to do deals with some of Australia’s best companies. Australia is well-positioned to become a top 10 digital economy by 2030, with the tech sector expected to make up 13% of its GDP. Ranked sixth globally as a fintech hub and first in the OECD for attracting and keeping talent, Australia's tech future is bright. 🌍 With the right capital access and supportive funding structures, the Australian tech sector is set for remarkable growth. What are your favorite Australian startups and who deserves a cash infusion in 2024? I am heading down to Sydney this week, DM if you'd like to meet #TechInnovation #VentureDebt #AustralianTech #GlobalGrowth #StartUpFunding #LiquidityGroup #MarsGrowth

📈 India's Economic Boom: A Shift Towards Consumption-Driven Growth 💹 Fascinating insights from a recent report by Goldman Sachs! India, traditionally leaning on B2B services and manufacturing, is witnessing a significant shift towards a consumption-focused economy. With predictions of around 100 million people becoming "affluent" by 2027, the country's consumer sector is set to become a pivotal driver for economic growth. This shift is not just about numbers; it's a transformation in lifestyle and spending patterns. There's a growing appetite for travel, jewelry, dining out, and other discretionary spending. This change is mirrored in the surge of consumer sectors like travel and jewelry, which are expected to see substantial growth in the coming decades. Moreover, India is projected to become the world's third-largest consumer market by 2027. The rise in middle- to high-income households, coupled with a significant young population, is attracting global firms to expand their operations in India. The implications for the markets are equally impressive. India's market cap has soared, with rising domestic inflows into equities. And it's not just stocks; increased incomes hint at a boost in gold and property purchases, with property prices already escalating significantly. What does this mean for businesses and investors? An opportunity to tap into a rapidly growing market driven by a young, confident population embracing digital payments and credit. LIQUiDITY Group / Mars Growth Capital is there. Are you? #IndianEconomy #ConsumerGrowth #MarketOpportunity #InvestmentTrends #EconomicDevelopment

Wishing all a very Happy Diwali and a Prosperous New Year. Let's celebrate the joy of shared achievements and look forward to a bright and prosperous future together.
