In the ever-evolving landscape of investment opportunities, traditional stock markets are no longer the sole arena for savvy investors. As interest in alternative investments grows, Siddhartha Rastogi’s latest podcast, “Investing Beyond the Stock Markets,” provides an in-depth exploration of diverse investment avenues that extend beyond conventional equities.

With global alternative investment assets expected to surpass $14 trillion by 2025, according to Preqin, and increasing numbers of investors seeking options like private equity, real estate, and venture capital, understanding these alternatives has become crucial.

This podcast delves into the benefits and challenges of alternative investments, offering valuable insights for investors looking to diversify their portfolios and explore new horizons.

Alternative investments in India are gaining substantial traction, with assets under management (AUM) in this sector reaching approximately $30 billion in 2023, as reported by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). This growth is driven by rising interest in private equity, venture capital, and real estate. For instance, private equity investments in India hit a record high of $10.8 billion in 2023, according to a report by Bain & Company.

Additionally, venture capital funding saw a robust increase, with investments reaching $7.2 billion in 2023, as highlighted by Venture Intelligence. Real estate, another key segment, continues to attract significant attention, with the Indian real estate market projected to grow to $1 trillion by 2030, according to the Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF).

These data points underscore the expanding appeal of alternative investments in India, reflecting a broader trend toward diversification and innovative financial strategies.
