Ascertis Credit has been named Lender of the Year, Asia-Pacific at the 2025 Private Debt Investor (PDI) Global Awards

Thrilled and humbled to share that Ascertis Credit has been named Lender of the Year, Asia-Pacific at the 2025 Private Debt Investor (PDI) Global Awards.

For a platform that started in 2014 as one of the early players in performing private credit in India, this recognition is a milestone that belongs to far more people than just our team.

To our investee companies — the established businesses and their management teams across India and SE Asia who trusted us with their growth journeys. Your resilience and vision are at the heart of everything we do. We invest to provide you capital that can fuel your growth, and this award is a reflection of the partnerships that have been built together.

To our investors and LPs — from marquee global pension funds, DFIs, financial institutions to family offices who believed in our approach to performing credit in India and SE Asia. Your trust, patience, and partnership across our funds have been the bedrock of our growth. We truly value that.

To our advisors and service providers — our legal counsels, fund administrators, auditors, valuation partners, and trustees. You are the unsung backbone of every transaction, every fund close, and every compliance milestone. Thank you for your partnership.

And of course, to the entire Ascertis Credit team — every deal sourced and structured, every credit assessment sharpened, every hour navigating complexity across markets and cycles, and every fund raise conversation across time zones. From our founding members to our newest associates - this one is yours. We could not be prouder of this group.

A special acknowledgement to our senior leadership team who have been instrumental in building Ascertis Credit into what it is today: Kanchan Jain, Sandeep Adukia, Anupam Goenka, Kaushal Ganeriwal, Saket Lakhotia, Snigdha Jain, Ashutosh Sharma, Ashish Agarwal, Sameer Mehta, Manali Garg and Shariq Shakir

From our rebrand couple of years ago and coming up to cumulative deployment of c. US$ 2 billion across five funds - it has been a remarkable journey. Asia's private credit opportunity continues to grow, and we remain committed to being a thoughtful, dependable partner to investors and borrowers across the region. Thank you Private Debt Investor, for this honour. It belongs to an entire ecosystem of people who believed in what we are building.
