A Unique programme for Corporates,Merchant Bankers, Lawyers, Chartered Accountants and other professionals

Private equity investments in India, which saw a sharp dip in 2009, is all set to bounce back in 2010 with several large global and local funds in active talks with promoters and managements of firms to put its money. Risk capital in all forms is becoming available more freely. The number of players offering growth capital and the number of investors is rising rapidly.

Private equity fund managers and investment bankers expect this year to witness increased activity at various levels as several Indian companies have reported robust results despite a testing economic environment. Besides fresh investments and divestment in existing companies, PE funds could also partner Indian companies for global acquisitions and also local buyouts.

In the coming year, PEs are likely to switch to disciplined mode and be doubly careful in selecting investment candidates. The focus may also be more on investing in companies with a niche business presence and management ‘bandwidth’, though many opportunities may crop up during the year. Overall focus may remain on mid-sized and smaller companies, despite larger companies being cheaper now. In terms of sector choices the year promises to be diverse.

Through this seminar, we intend to study various critical aspects pertaining to PE Funds and gear up professionals, PE Fund and companies seeking PE Funds to meet the challenges.
