Private equity firm

Amaya Capital

Compiled from public sources

Amaya Capital is a principal investment firm based in Port-Louis, Mauritius, focused on developing and investing in large-scale platform enterprises across Africa. Founded in 2009, the firm differentiates itself from traditional private equity by investing its own principal capital rather than managing third-party funds. Its strategy involves a proactive "hands-on" approach where it partners with high-quality management teams and strategic stakeholders to build businesses from early development stages through to operational maturity. Historically, Amaya Capital has been a lead sponsor in major infrastructure and energy projects, most notably as the founder and majority shareholder of Azura Power Holdings, which developed the landmark Azura-Edo Independent Power Project in Nigeria.
