Ghodawat added that subsequently, Augment Infrastructure will become the largest investor in CleanMax, while their previous investors Warburg Pincus and IFC would be opting for an exit.

Kuldeep Jain, founder and managing director of CleanMax said that they are happy to note that both global investors will secure an exit, which is always a responsibility of the management team to deliver upon. He added that over 150 CleanMax colleagues, present and past, are securing a part exit on their ESOPs,” said Kuldeep Jain, founder and managing director of CleanMax.

The rooftop firm said that this investment would involve a purchase of the stake held by Yellow Bell Investment, an affiliate of global private equity firm Warburg Pincus, and International Finance Corporation along with an investment of primary capital in the company to fund its growth pipeline.
