Top Private Equity Solutions Providers In India

Proceeds from issuing shares through public offerings are known as public equity. Companies also raise funds from private sources; this is known as private equity. Venture capital and private equity have risen sharply in the past decade, with USD45.1bn in investments.

Sectors such as banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), consumer technology, real estate, telecom and IT see considerable investment. Although the pandemic reduced investment activity, companies offering software as a service (SaaS) continued to gain investor interest. India has approximately 125 private equity firms, but very few companies offer private equity solutions to support such firms.
