"Despite an 11% decline in 2025, Gymkhana remains highly bullish on India's 'reform express,' actively rotating its portfolio into deeply undervalued small-cap industrials and defense suppliers."
Executive Summary
Gymkhana Partners reported an -11% decline in USD for 2025, underperforming major Indian indices. However, the firm highlights its outstanding long-term performance from mid-2013 through 2025, delivering a cumulative return of +339% (+12.5% CAGR) net of all fees and taxes. Gymkhana views the current dip as a buying opportunity, supported by India's rapid GDP growth (+8.2%) and aggressive pro-market regulatory overhauls (labor, tax, and insurance reforms). The portfolio is deliberately rotating away from expensive, large-cap IT and energy companies toward undervalued smaller-cap industrials, defense, and aerospace companies.
