New Delhi, 15 October, 2026.

Getfive Funds today announced that it has received market regulator SEBI's nod for Getfive Opportunity Fund II, a ₹500 crore Category-IAlternative Investment Fund, to invest in high-growth Indian SMEs. This will be the second fund from Getfive Funds. The fund will focus on emerging companies across Bharat's Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, besides Tier 1. It will coversectors includingDefence, Aerospace, Space-tech, Deep-tech, Precision Engineering, Manufacturing,Healthcare,Pharma, Technology, Financial Services, Consumer &Retail, Agritech, Logistics &Supply Chain, Energy &Renewables, Education,and Waste Management.

Getfive Opportunity Fund II will follow the same V³ (V cube) Framework i.e. Vision Through Promoter, Value Through Company and Velocity Through Industry and Growth Investing philosophy by the Fund Manager, Shrikant Goyal that shaped Fund I for long-term value creation.

Fund I continues to focus on SMEs, and Fund II widens that mandate with greater scale.

The fund will be managed under the vision of Mr. Shrikant Goyal, who brings close to two decades of experience across capital markets, corporate fundraising and structured finance. Under his leadership, Getfive has grown into a SEBI-registered Merchant Bank with a 40+ member Merchant Banking team, and he has personally steered the raising of over ₹1,500 crore across 40+ debt deals. He also founded the Getfive Opportunity Fund, a SEBI-registered Category I AIF (Venture Capital Fund), extending Getfive’s role from advisory to long-term capital partnership with India’s SMEs.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Shrikant Goyal, Managing Director, Getfive Funds, said, “SME investing has matured, and the opportunity ahead is significant. India already has at least 250 opportunities, and we expect around 400 SME companies to list on BSE SME and NSE Emerge over the next three to four years. Data shows that roughly 10% of SME companies have delivered returns of more than ten times, and about 5% have delivered more than twenty times, to their investors. SME investing is not a listing-day game, and investors should not treat it as a lottery. Investors should do their own research rather than follow market trends, as it is their hard-earned money.

Investors should go deeper into the fundamentals, study the industry and assess its scalability and profitability. Investors should examine the track record of the promoter, as the promoter drives the business, read the balance sheet carefully, compare the company with its peers and insist on a reasonable valuation. By asking basic questions on receivables, inventory and creditors, investors can eliminate nearly 80% of red flags.Those convinced by a company’s journey should stay invested for around three years and see where it can go. This conviction has led us to bring our second fund.”
