The Wealth Company Asset Management, a part of the Pantomath Group, has announced the launch of the Bharat Bhoomi Fund, the latest addition to its Bharat Value Fund series. Structured as a Category II Alternative Investment Fund (AIF), the fund has a base size of Rs 10 billion, with an additional green shoe option of Rs 10 billion, taking the total potential corpus to Rs 20 billion.

The Bharat Bhoomi Fund is focused on investing in execution-ready real estate projects across major Indian cities and infrastructure corridors. Target sectors include data centres, warehousing, hospitality, renewable energy parks, mid-to-premium residential housing, and plotted developments in high-growth regions such as Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), National Capital Region (NCR), Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad.

Following a diversified capital allocation strategy, the fund will prioritise projects with clear land titles, necessary regulatory approvals, and defined exit visibility. The company has already identified a pipeline of approximately 1,200 acres spread across six projects.

The fund will be led by Rakesh Kumar, who brings experience of over 50,000 real estate transactions, and Bhavya Bagrecha, who has overseen institutional investments exceeding Rs 25 billion. Peter Sharp, former Asia real estate head at Walmart, will serve as an advisor.

Madhu Lunawat, Founder and Director of The Wealth Company Asset Management, noted that the fund is well-positioned to capitalise on the growing demand for real assets in India. She highlighted that the Bharat Bhoomi Fund offers a disciplined, data-driven, and domain-focused approach to real estate investing.

The Wealth Company offers a range of alternate investment products under the India Inflection Opportunity Trust. The Bharat Value Fund series is dedicated to investing in growth-oriented Indian businesses and real assets aligned with the government’s ‘Made in India’ vision.
