Satya Capital

Satya Capital is an independent investment firm focused on providing long-term growth capital to African businesses. The firm partners with entrepreneurs to build companies with regional and pan-regional scope and has the flexibility to back investee companies during all stages of development - from expansion to post-IPO - because its permanent capital base enables it to hold investments without a fixed exit horizon. In particular, Satya seeds investment platforms with a view of creating evergreen holdings in its core sectors. The Satya team works closely with portfolio company management to build a foundation for future growth by developing internal systems, attracting management talent and leveraging its network of deep relationships across Africa.

Satya targets investments from $20 million to $100 million dollars and invests in a broad range of sectors including: Consumer & Retail, Healthcare, TMT and Financial Services. The Satya team has a rich mix of financial, strategic and investment experience, as well as valuable direct operating experience, most notably through the establishment and growth of Celtel, a pan-African mobile operator.

Satya works in partnership with TPG Growth, the middle market and growth equity investment platform of TPG, the global private investment firm. With more than $7 billion in assets under management and committed capital, TPG Growth targets investments in a broad range of industries and geographies.
