CARE Ratings' Strategy and Investment Committee approved the incorporation of a new joint venture company named 'Operus Limited' (or as approved by authorities) in partnership with Vestian Global Work Place Services Private Limited. The new entity will operate in the Global Capability Centre (GCC) enablement services industry, helping global enterprises set up and run GCCs in India. CARE Ratings will invest around Rs. 22.5 crores as initial equity share capital at face value of Rs. 10 per share, taking a 50% stake alongside Vestian's 50%. The incorporation is expected to be completed by June 30, 2026, subject to a No-Objection Certificate from SEBI.
This is a diversification move for CARE Ratings into a new business vertical (GCC enablement), outside its core credit rating operations. While the Rs. 22.5 crore investment is modest, shareholders should note that the JV constitutes a related party transaction, and execution and scale-up risks in an unrelated business line may warrant close tracking.
