Global investment institution Lighthouse Canton has secured $40 million in strategic funding led by Peak XV Partners, with participation from Nextinfinity, the investment holding company of Shyam Maheshwari (Founding Partner of SSG Capital, later Ares SSG). Qatar Insurance Company (QIC), an early investor, also reaffirmed its commitment in this round.
Founded in 2014, Lighthouse Canton has grown organically to manage over $5 billion in assets across Singapore, India, the UAE, and the UK. This marks the firm’s first external fundraise, aimed at accelerating its next phase of growth by scaling technology infrastructure, attracting senior talent, and expanding into high-potential markets.
“This is a defining milestone for us,” said Shilpi Chowdhary, Group CEO of Lighthouse Canton. “We have built Lighthouse Canton independently with an institutional mindset. With Peak XV and our strategic partners, we are deepening our capabilities and positioning ourselves for the next decade of growth.”
Lighthouse Canton operates wealth and asset management businesses, serving entrepreneurs, family offices, and institutions across regions. The company’s disciplined approach and regional reach have earned it a reputation for agility and trust in managing complex, cross-border investments.
