Alt Launches 'Alt Credit': Bringing Institutional Real Estate Credit to Individual Investors
Alt, India’s leading platform for alternative investments, has announced the launch of ‘Alt Credit’, a platform designed to provide individual investors access to high-yield, secure real estate credit. This marks the debut of India’s first regulated private credit platform, offering institutional-quality credit opportunities to a broader audience. Alt Credit is registered with the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) as a Stock Broker and an Online Bond Platform Provider (OBPP) with the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
According to EY’s H1 2025 India Private Credit Market Update, Indian corporates raised approximately USD 9 billion through private credit transactions in the first half of 2025. Real estate accounted for over 40% of total private credit issuance value during this period, highlighting the significant potential of this asset class. Alt Credit aims to democratize real estate credit, which has historically been reserved for institutional investors.
To lead this initiative, Alt has appointed Mayuresh Saoji as the Chief Investment Officer for Alt Credit. Mayuresh brings over 18 years of institutional real estate and private credit experience, including a decade with Altico Capital, which was acquired by the $540 billion AUM global asset manager ARES. During his tenure, he executed and managed senior secured structured credit transactions with a cumulative size exceeding $500 million, backed by various real estate projects such as residential, office, IT SEZ, retail, and integrated townships. Mayuresh holds a B.Tech from BITS-Pilani and an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad.
Through Alt Credit, investors can access a diversified mix of credit instruments across multiple risk-return profiles, with investments starting at ₹25 lakh. These include:
1. Real Estate Credit – High-yield debt backed by prime real estate: - Yields ranging between 14-18% - High security cover - Current coupon - Listed and tradeable
2. Private Corporate Bonds – High-yield listed debt issued by private companies: - Yields ranging between 10-14%
Security and governance are paramount at Alt Credit. All investments are executed under Alt’s SEBI-regulated Online Bond Platform Provider (OBPP) license, ensuring a fully digital and transparent process. Each opportunity is supported by: - Defined end-use of funds and escrow mechanisms - Documentation vetted by reputable law firms - A framework aligned with institutional-grade underwriting rather than standard retail norms - Trustee oversight
Kunal Moktan, Co-founder of Alt, emphasized the importance of Alt Credit in the market. “As the private credit market has scaled, access to well-structured, asset-backed opportunities has largely remained confined to institutions. With Alt Credit, we are addressing this gap by bringing institutional-grade credit opportunities to individual investors in a regulated, transparent, liquid, and responsible manner while maintaining the same discipline around underwriting, risk management, and governance as institutional investors. In Mayuresh, we have a seasoned investment professional who has seen multiple credit cycles and comes with a strong track record of investing in private credit.”
Mayuresh Saoji, CIO of Alt Credit, expressed his enthusiasm about the platform. “I am excited to join the Alt Credit platform and look forward to drawing on my extensive real estate credit investment experience on the institutional side to provide individual investors access to high-grade private credit through a technology-first approach. Alt revolutionized technology-based real estate investing through Property Share, India’s first and only SM REIT. I look forward to scaling the credit side of the business in a similar manner through Alt Credit.”
