Conglomerates form the backbone of everyday India, with their deep-rooted presence across industries, from energy and infrastructure to consumer goods and technology, shaping the way the nation lives, works, and grows. This broad footprint not only aims to anchor India’s economic resilience but also positions conglomerates as key drivers of innovation, infrastructure, and inclusive growth. Invest in Baroda BNP Paribas Business Conglomerates Fund, designed to tap into multiple growth engines through a diversified investment strategy.

Why Conglomerates thrive?

  • Diversified revenue streams mitigate risk: Presence of a conglomerate across multiple sectors diversifies risk, where potentially profitable mature businesses generate steady cash flows that can offset losses from experimental or high-risk ventures.

  • Leveraging Legacy: Conglomerates aim to leverage their strong brand reputation and goodwill to empower their subsidiaries, creating a combined effect of trust, credibility, and market access.

  • Financial firepower to invest in innovative ventures: Indian conglomerates are set to invest nearly $800 billion in growth over the next decade, almost triple their spending in the past ten years. Around 40% of this will flow into emerging sectors like clean energy, semiconductors, EVs, and data centres (S&P Global Report, Oct 2024, latest available data). With their legacy of resilience and long-term vision, conglomerates are uniquely positioned to back sunrise industries with meaningful capital and strategic commitment.
