Overview

About

NV Capital Trust is a SEBI-registered Category II Alternative Investment Fund managed by N V Associates LLP (LLPIN AAV-3414), India's pioneering Media and Entertainment Credit Fund. Founded by ex-bankers Nitin Menon and Vivek Menon — both former senior members of Yes Bank's Media and Entertainment Financing group, where they collectively deployed in excess of INR 700 crore across over 40 projects — NV Capital launched its maiden fund in June 2021 with a target corpus of INR 500 crore. The fund invests in the rapidly growing Indian Media and Entertainment sector, providing structured debt and credit to content creators, OTT platforms, gaming companies, and entertainment start-ups. With close to 1,500 movies released annually in India and the rapid proliferation of OTT platforms, NV Capital identified a significant funding gap for content creators who require capital without equity dilution. The fund operates from WeWork Vaswani Chambers, Worli, Mumbai. The sponsor of NV Capital is Jayantilal Gada, Chairman and Managing Director of Pen Studios, one of India's leading integrated studios with over 35 years of experience across film production, distribution, movie aggregation, broadcasting, digital media, and visual effects.

Investment philosophy

NV Capital was established on the conviction that the Media and Entertainment sector is an underserved alternative asset class offering compelling risk-adjusted returns. The fund leverages the founders' two decades of domain expertise in entertainment financing to evaluate content IP value, streaming monetisation, and ancillary revenue streams. NV Capital seeks to establish a financial institutional framework to aid the growth of content creators and entertainment start-ups by providing structured credit that is aligned to the cash flow dynamics of content monetisation.
