In the world’s youngest nation—where over 65% of the population is under 35—India’s future is already being shaped by those bold enough to lead it. From boardrooms to breakout ideas, a new generation of business leaders is rewriting the rules. This year's Fortune India’s 40 Under 40 celebrates these changemakers—icons in the making like Akash Ambani, Kaviya Kalanithi Maran, Shashwat Goenka, Parth Jindal, Aman Mehta, and Devansh Jain—who are not just carrying forward legacies but boldly reimagining them for a new era. Alongside them are first-generation disruptors like Sagar Daryani, scaling Wow! Momo with a vision to take ₹100 momos to 5,000 cities, and Palak Shah, turning the Banarasi weave into a global fashion story with Ekaya Banaras. These are the entrepreneurs turning ambition into scale. And even beyond traditional industry, the entrepreneurial wave is pulling in creative forces—Ranveer Singh, for instance, is shaking up wellness and nutrition with Bold Care and SuperYou, proving that passion, backed by purpose, is the new blueprint for building brands.
The New Fund Offer (NFO) for the ETF will be open for subscription from March 21, 2025, to April 2, 2025, while the FOF will be available from March 28, 2025, to April 10, 2025.
The two schemes are designed to offer investors access to India’s growing electric vehicle (EV) industry and the evolving automotive sector. They encompass a diverse range of segments, including electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, passenger and commercial vehicles, battery producers, component manufacturers, raw material suppliers, and companies specialising in automotive technology.
The Fund of Funds (FOF) maintains the same minimum investment requirements, enabling investors to participate both during the NFO and in the continuous offer period.
ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund emphasised the rapid growth of India's EV sector, fuelled by government initiatives such as the FAME scheme, production-linked incentive (PLI) programs, and battery-swapping policies.
Both investment options will be accessible through major mutual fund platforms, according to the fund house.
