Details

While the public market has seen some ups and downs after hitting an all-time peak, long term investors in the alternatives domain have been ‘building up’ their positions despite the deeper correction in the venture capital space over the last two years. Limited Partners (LPs) have made record fresh commitment of $10 billion to private equity, private credit, venture capital and public market alternative investment funds (AIFs) focused on India during January-March 2023. This catapulted the total historical money dedicated to locally registered PE, VC funds as well as public market AIFs to cross the milestone of $100 billion, as per data compiled by VCCircle.

This has also pushed the total ‘dry powder’ for India-dedicated funds alone to around $60 billion. In short, a whole lot of money is waiting in the wings to get deployed. The country’s private equity and venture capital industry is likely to remain vibrant in the future and move towards making an even greater impact on the economy.

To deliberate on how the Indian alternative investment ecosystem is evolving, VCCircle presents the 15th edition of its flagship annual thought leadership and networking event for LPs and GPs as also all intermediaries in the deals ecosystem.
