KKR announced a new private equity investment in India to support a company scaling its live business and full-stack offering. This marks KKR's latest backing in the region, where it has previously supported Medicover India, Lighthouse Learning, Vini Cosmetics, Healthcare Global Enterprises, Darwinbox, and Rebel Foods. Meanwhile, EQT is investing through its mid-market opportunities fund, with Storm chair Matt Tripp remaining a shareholder. This deal is notable as the Storm, previously owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Limited, is a rare private equity target in the National Rugby League, where most clubs are member-controlled. In Asia-Pacific, Partners Group will deploy capital through an open-ended, evergreen fund focusing on senior and junior direct lending across multiple sectors. The flexible structure provides long-term exposure rather than a fixed-term commitment.
