The proceeds will provide growth capital to the business and the proposed transaction will close after regulatory approvals.
“This investment is a strong endorsement of the quality of businesses we have built to scale over the years,” said Mahesh Misra, chhief executive officer at IMGC. “We look forward to leverage Sagen’s global experience to drive innovation and transformation to further deepen the mortgage guarantee market in India,” he added.
