Mumbai, May 01, 2026: KSH INFRA, a developer of sustainable Grade A industrial and logistics infrastructure, is planning to set up a Category II Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) focused on opportunities in the sector. The company has appointed Shailesh Agrawal as Head – Fund Management to set up and lead the proposed fund platform. With over 15 years of experience spanning fund management, private equity advisory, and corporate strategy, Shailesh brings deep expertise in institutional and retail capital formation and real assets investing.

The proposed fund is expected to target a corpus of about INR 1250 Crores (~USD 140 million), with an additional INR 500 Crores (~USD 60 million) expected through co-investment commitments alongside the fund. The fund will invest in greenfield Grade A Industrial and Logistics assets in West and South India, including Pune, Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru.

Earlier in his career, he has worked with Bain & Company, Alvarez & Marsal, and Tata Group. He is an alumnus of IIT Madras and IIM Ahmedabad.

The plan to launch of our AIF strengthens our ability to partner with long-term investors and accelerate development across key markets. Shailesh brings a strong track record in fund management and deep understanding of real asset investing. We are confident his leadership will help institutionalize and scale our fund platform”

Shailesh Agrawal, Head – Fund Management, KSH INFRA commented, “India’s logistics and manufacturing ecosystem is undergoing structural transformation, driven by manufacturing growth, supply chain formalization, and growing adoption of 3PL services, leading to increasing demand for Grade A real estate spaces. Development capital, deployed with underwriting discipline and operating expertise, can generate compelling risk-adjusted returns. KSH INFRA’s operating expertise, development track record, prior experience of working with institutional investors and focus on industrial tenants provide a solid foundation to build a differentiated institutional platform”.

Mapletree & Indospace and has executed projects spanning 7 million square feet with a combined investment of INR 2,000 Crore.
