Piramal Fund Management

What Piramal Fund Management does

Piramal Fund Management Private Limited is a Mumbai-based asset management firm focused exclusively on real estate and allied sectors in India. Incorporated in 2005 (CIN: U67190MH2005PTC154781) and operating from Piramal Towers in Lower Parel, the firm is part of the diversified Piramal Group and is led by founders Ajay Piramal and Swati Piramal (Vice Chairperson), with Sachin Deodhar serving as CFO. The firm serves institutional and high-net-worth investors seeking exposure to Indian real estate through SEBI-regulated structures.

The company's product architecture spans multiple wrappers designed to capture different investor mandates: Domestic Funds, Managed Accounts, a SEBI-registered Portfolio Management Services (PMS) offering, and specialized strategies including the Indiareit Apartment Strategy and the Domestic Real Estate Strategy. Distribution and servicing are supported by a dedicated digital platform (indiareit.com) and a partnership with Computer Age Management Services (camsonline) for transaction processing and investor administration. A strategic partnership with Bain Capital Advisors extends the platform into distressed asset financing.

The business model is fee-based, consistent with conventional asset management economics — management fees charged on assets under management across the various fund and managed-account vehicles, with potential performance fees. The source material does not disclose AUM, fee schedules, revenue, or headcount, so the scale of these economics cannot be quantified from available data.
