On the acquisition, Merisis Group Managing Director Sumir Verma said, “This expansion also reinforces our presence across three key cities and bolsters our expertise in consumer-focused sectors, particularly in NCR."

Founded in 2021, Boon Capital has raised capital for startups including RuskMedia, The Healthy Billion, Gynoveda, Stage OTT, and Asiaville, among others.

Seth said, “With Merisis’ extensive network and resources, we are well-positioned to support startups not only in their early rounds but also as they scale.”

Beyond early-stage fundraising, Seth is expected to leverage her relationships with family offices to enhance the reach of Merisis Wealth’s offerings, including Merisis Multicap PMS, Merisis Opportunities Fund (Category 1 AIF), and exclusive private opportunities.
