Equirus, which has had Jhunjunwala's support since its inception, provides a range of services, including investment banking, insurance broking, and asset management.

The fresh funds will be used to fuel capital expansion, invest in technology, enhance operational efficiencies, and strengthen risk management capabilities. The funds will also support talent acquisition and provide access to new networks for the company.

Mahesh Parasuraman, Partner and Co-founder of Amicus Capital Partners, said, "The Equirus platform offers life cycle solutions across the growth and wealth-creation journey of corporates and its stakeholders and is well positioned to take advantage of the India-growth story."
