“Rural India is the New Growth Frontier” — Nilesh Shah
Launching the fund, Nilesh Shah, Managing Director of Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Company Ltd., said:
“Rural India is no longer just about agriculture — it’s the new growth frontier of Bharat. From financial inclusion to digital connectivity and local manufacturing, rural India is witnessing a transformation driven by opportunity, aspiration, and policy. The Kotak Rural Opportunities Fund aims to help investors participate in this shift, one that aligns with India’s journey toward inclusive and balanced economic development.”
Diversified Portfolio to Capture Rural Growth
The fund will be constructed from a universe of companies with significant rural exposure, using rigorous screening methods to ensure strong fundamentals and growth potential. It will maintain a diversified and dynamically managed portfolio to adapt to emerging opportunities within India’s fast-evolving rural economy.
Positive Long-Term Outlook on Rural Theme
Arjun Khanna, Fund Manager of Kotak Rural Opportunities Fund, said:
“Our outlook on the rural theme is structurally positive. Improving incomes, better infrastructure, and expanding access to finance and technology are laying the foundation for sustainable, broad-based growth. The rural economy today spans multiple sectors — from agriculture and manufacturing to construction, services, and consumption. Through a disciplined, research-driven approach, we aim to identify companies that are either driving or benefiting from this transformation.”
The Kotak Rural Opportunities Fund offers investors a chance to participate in India’s rural growth story, aligning their investments with the country’s inclusive development goals and expanding economic potential beyond urban markets.
