MVIL’s Investment Vertical will facilitate Intellectual & Financial Capital to promising and proven early-stage organizations across identified strategic growth sectors such as Hospitality, Food & Beverages, Healthcare, Technology-based Financial Services, Education and Real Estate.
Speaking on the occasion of listing of the company, Mr Analjit Singh, Founder & Chairman Emeritus, Max Group and Chairman, MVIL, said, “Max Ventures & Industries will be our vehicle to pursue path-breaking formats in areas which either have adjacencies to our businesses of life or where we have long-standing experience. The current business climate in India makes it an opportune time to create and grow new businesses which cater to the needs of the discerning Indian. We have currently chosen to focus on Real Estate, Education, Manufacturing and an Investment Vertical.”
Note to the editor

The first listed company, Max Financial Services Limited (MFS) focuses on managing the Group’s flagship life insurance business, through its 68% shareholding in Max Life, making it the first Indian listed company exclusively focused on life insurance.
The second holding company, which retains the name Max India Limited, manages investments in the high potential Health & Allied businesses – Max Healthcare, Max Bupa and Antara Senior Living. The demerger will allow sharper management focus on these businesses, which are currently in their growth and development phases. The (New) Max India is expected to be listed by the end of June 2016.
Post restructuring, the erstwhile Max India’s existing shareholders retain one equity share of Rs. 2/- in Max Financial Services Limited.
