In a conversation with YourStory, Siddharth Mehta, Founder and CIO of Bay Capital, says his interest lies in companies that contribute to India's growth story.

Inside Bay Capital’s investment strategy

Monday October 11, 2021 , 3 min Read

Good Morning,


Siddharth (Sid) Mehta has over 19 years of experience as a fund manager working closely with global institutional investors and managing and advising on their Indian investments. 


In 2006, Siddharth founded his own investment house, the Mumbai-headquartered Bay Capital Partners, which has quickly grown to become a significant investor in the long-term structural growth in India through investments in publicly traded businesses. 


In a conversation with YourStory, Siddharth says his interest lies in companies that contribute to India's growth story.


"Our flagship investment vehicle invests across public and late-stage/pre-IPO businesses and these are businesses that have long runways for growth, are judicious capital allocators and have a large and dominant leadership position in the segments that they operate in," he says.


Unpacking Bay Capital’s investment philosophy, he says that the pandemic has provided businesses with a window of opportunity to accelerate the digital adoption of products and services. 


"There is a range of opportunities, especially in the digital ecosystem and we believe that as discerning investors, we are uniquely positioned to be able to identify and participate in many of these," he adds.



The Interview

In an exclusive interaction with YourStory, Simplilearn CEO Krishna Kumar talks about the startup's mission in education, why the platform kept 60 percent of its business free, and how Blackstone, which invested $250 million in the startup, will help it in building for the next stage.
