Navi Limited today announced an investment of USD 100 million from Prosus, marking Navi's first institutional capital raise and an important milestone in its journey to build one of India's leading technology-driven financial services institutions. The proposed investment aligns with Prosus's long standing thesis in backing leading technology platforms in India and its confidence in Navi's business, execution capabilities and a long-term ambition to build one of India’s leading technology-driven financial services institutions.The investment also builds on a long-standing relationship between Sachin Bansal and Naspers and the Prosus Group spanning more than a decade.Commenting on the development, Mr. Sachin Bansal, 'Founder & Executive Chairman, Navi Group', said, “Prosus is one of the world's most respected investors, with an exceptional track record of backing category-defining technology companies over the long term. My association with Naspers and the Prosus Group dates back more than a decade, making this partnership particularly meaningful. Their investment is a strong endorsement of the institution we're building at Navi. Beyond the capital, we value Prosus's global perspective, long-term orientation and experience in scaling technology businesses, and look forward to partnering with them as we continue our growth journey.”Sharing his views, Mr. Ashutosh Sharma, Head of Prosus India Investments and M&A, said, “We are excited about our partnership with Navi, a business that is demonstrating all the qualities we look for while investing - a large base of loyal users, a platform play with multiple lines of businesses, a technology-first approach to problem solving and a relentless focus on delivering superior consumer experience. We believe the team has executed extremely well in the last 12 months despite a tough macro environment which makes the company well-positioned to capture significant opportunities in the sector in times to come. In Sachin, we see a founder who shares our philosophy of patient company-building, building better products, and creating meaningful long-term value at scale. We look forward to supporting Sachin and Navi’s long-term growth following completion of the transaction, subject to the required regulatory approvals.”Navi enters this next phase of growth with strong operating momentum across its businesses.
