EAAA India Alternatives Limited, the alternative asset management arm of the Edelweiss Group, has refiled its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for a proposed ₹1,500 Cr initial public offering.

EAAA India Alternatives Limited, formerly known as Edelweiss Alternative Asset Advisors, is a leading alternative investment platform in India with a track record of over 15 years. The company manages and advises alternative investment funds across private credit and real assets, focusing on income- and yield-oriented strategies for domestic and global investors.
Its investment strategies span infrastructure yield assets such as energy and transportation projects, commercial real estate with long residual tenures, and private credit solutions across the risk spectrum. As of 30 September 2025, EAAA India Alternatives reported total assets under management (AUM) of ₹65,504 Cr, with fee-paying AUM of ₹38,521 Cr.
The platform services approximately 5,398 client relationships across India and international markets. Operations are supported by an investment team of around 80 professionals and an asset management team of 57 members, backed by senior leadership with an average experience of over 18 years. The company operates from offices in Mumbai, New Delhi, GIFT City, and Singapore.
According to the DRHP, since the IPO is structured entirely as an Offer for Sale, the company will not receive any proceeds from the issue. Accordingly, the IPO does not involve utilisation of funds by the company.
| Fund Allocation | Amount (₹ crore) | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
Offer for Sale by Existing Shareholders |
1,500.00 |
The entire proceeds from the IPO will be received by the selling shareholder entities within the Edelweiss Group |
Utilisation by the Company |
Nil |
No proceeds will be available for use by the company, as the issue does not include a fresh issue component |
The IPO is intended to facilitate listing of the company’s equity shares and provide investors with an opportunity to gain exposure to a listed alternative asset management platform. Post-listing, the company may benefit from enhanced visibility and broader access to capital markets, although no capital infusion is envisaged under this issue.
Given the nature of its asset-management business model, EAAA India Alternatives is typically evaluated on scale indicators such as AUM and client base rather than manufacturing-style revenue metrics.
