The firm anticipates closing its fundraising by the end of this financial year, aiming to secure an additional INR 150 crore.

RESO-1 focuses on special situation funds to unlock significant value by financing projects needing financial completion. The fund targets an internal rate of return (IRR) between 18% and 22% over a five-year horizon, with the potential to extend for an additional two years if necessary.
