The company caters to a highly diversified and expanding global client base comprising 11,009 client relationships across India, North America, Europe, the Middle East, Japan, Australia, and South Korea as of June 30, 2026.

Operating from key financial hubs in Mumbai, New Delhi, GIFT City, and Singapore, the firm accesses international LP capital through chaperoning partners and offshore relationship managers.
As a pure-play asset management entity, EAAA India Alternatives Limited does not operate physical manufacturing facilities or industrial factories. Instead, its core operational infrastructure centers on its wholly-owned asset operating and management subsidiary, Sekura India Management Limited (Sekura). Sekura acts as a dedicated asset management platform overseeing technical operations, maintenance, efficiency optimization, and turnaround strategies for portfolio assets across 16 Indian states. As of June 30, 2026, Sekura’s managed real assets infrastructure includes 3.10 million square feet of commercial office space, 4,586 lane kilometers of operating highways, 1,835 circuit kilometers of power transmission lines, and 1.73 gigawatts of operational solar energy assets.
The platform’s operational capabilities are supported by proprietary deal-sourcing frameworks, disciplined underwriting standards, structured fund governance committees, and comprehensive risk monitoring processes. Demonstrating leadership in ESG integration, the company has been a signatory to the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment since January 2023, systematically embedding environmental, social, and governance criteria into its deal evaluation and portfolio monitoring routines.
