The Rise Fund, a global fund, today announced that it has agreed to invest USD 50 million in city-based Dodla Dairy Ltd (Dodla).
The investment in Dodla, which is subject to regulatory approval, will be The Rise Fund's first in the food and agriculture sector, as well as its first in India, a statement issued by TPG Growth that manages The Rise Fund, said.
"India's dairy consumption has been experiencing robust growth, fuelled by urbanisation, increasing incomes, and
health consciousness among consumers. Dodla is well-positioned to capitalise on these growth trends. We look forward to working with Dodla to enhance its brand," said Vish Narain, Partner at TPG Growth.

The Rise Fund focuses on investments in sectors -- education, energy, food and agriculture, financial services, growth infrastructure, healthcare, and technology, media and telecommunications.
