KKR maps credit, infra push in India: Mkt of 'critical strategic priority'

India has moved to the center of KKR's Asia strategy as domestic consumption rises and policy remains supportive of private capital, Nuttall said

Global investment giant KKR & Co is preparing to scale up its India presence in private equity, infrastructure, and private credit after having invested more than $9 billion in the country over the past five years, positioning India as a “critical 

strategic priority” within its global strategy, according to Scott Nuttall, KKR’s global co-chief executive 

officer. 

Nuttall said the firm ultimately wanted its India business to resemble its global model as the market evolved — expanding beyond buyouts and core infrastructureinto areas such as insurance capital solutions and capital markets.
