Investcorp, a global alternative investment firm, on Tuesday invested in V-Ensure Pharma Technologies in a transaction valued at INR 130 crore. The round was led by Investcorp along with participation from Asia-based private investment firm, Tanas Capital.
This investment will fund V-Ensure's objective of pursuing growth opportunities across North America, Europe and other global markets for the development and launch of its products. The investment also reinforces Investcorp's commitment to invest in market-leading business services, information technology and healthcare businesses in India and accelerate their expansion and competitive positioning globally, said a statement.
