The biggest investing opportunity most Indian investors still cannot access? Private markets.
-
Companies like SpaceX, Stripe, Databricks, and Anthropic are some of the most valuable businesses in the world today. None are listed on stock exchanges.
-
Earlier, companies went public in 5 to 6 years. Today many stay private for 10 to 12+ years, meaning a large part of the wealth creation happens before IPO.
-
By the time retail investors buy after listing, much of the explosive growth is already priced in.
Why private markets matter:
- Access high-growth companies before IPO
- Diversify beyond public market volatility
- Get exposure to sectors shaping the next decade like AI, fintech, defence tech, and enterprise software
But this is not easy money.
- Your capital can stay locked in for years
- Valuations can fall
- Some companies may never succeed
- Liquidity is limited compared to stocks
Vested now gives eligible Indian investors access to global private companies through SPV structures, with minimum investments starting at $5,000.
Possible exits include IPOs, acquisitions, or secondary sales, but timelines are uncertain and depend entirely on the company journey.
Private markets are no longer a niche asset class. Institutions globally already treat them as a core portfolio allocation. Indian investors are only now getting access.
