Abstract

The venture capital and private equity industry in India has grown significantly in recent years. Using data from 2004–2008, a life cycle analysis provides findings that can impact the long-term growth of the industry. A large proportion of the deals are Round 1 investments, with a dramatic drop in subsequent rounds. Most investments are in late-stage financing and take place many years after the incorporation of the investee firm. The industry is also characterized by the short duration of the investments. To ensure long-term growth of the industry in India, investments should be made in early stage financing, investors should stay invested for a longer duration, and larger rounds of funding should be made in the portfolio companies. <b>TOPICS:</b>Private equity, emerging, financial crises and financial market history
