> India
Rapid economic growth in India over the last 10 years, especially driven
by the IT services, BPO and healthcare sectors, has suddenly made India
flavour of the month among venture capital investors and LPs around the
world. Unprecedented amounts of money are being committed to the
country by GPs and LPs, with a number of major US and European names
starting up Indian operations and domestic funds raising huge amounts of
money. Is this a bubble?
Topics include:
• Beyond the headlines – how large is the opportunity in India actually?
• Can outsiders win in the boom, or do you have to be domestic?
• India vs. China – where would you place your bets?
• What is the winning strategy in India – location, sector, stage,
deal sourcing?
• Does private / growth equity win over venture capital for investors?
• How do you leverage India for portfolio companies, even if you don't
want to invest directly?
