CaratLane Founder Mithun Sacheti joins Singularity Growth as general partner

CaratLane Founder Mithun Sacheti will join Singularity Growth, a private equity firm, as a co-sponsor and general partner, a statement said.

Sacheti, in August this year, had announced the sale of his remaining 27% stake in the omnichannel jewellery retailer, Caratlane, for Rs 4,621 crore to Tata Group-owned Titan.

A statement from Singularity said that Sacheti will play a crucial role in the investment committee and actively participate in the decision-making process for all future investments.

On the new move, Sacheti said, “India has vast untapped entrepreneurial potential, and I am truly excited to be a part of Singularity Growth. Singularity has a strong vision, and I am looking forward to working closely with Yash to create opportunities through the unique operator-investor model. Together, we hope to unlock immense value in the world of Private Equity investments.”
