BENGALURU: Private equity veteran Rohan Ajila and Manipal Technologies chairman Gautham Pai’s consumer sector focused SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) has raised $170 million in an IPO in the US. This probably marks the first fund raise by an India-related SPAC.
The SPAC, called Global Consumer Acquisition Corp (GCAC), is listed on Nasdaq. SPACs, also known as blank-cheque companies, are shell companies that launch IPOs with a promise to invest in or acquire a company within a set timeline – normally18 to 24 months. SPACs have become extremely popular among investment firms and startups over the past two years.
