-- After falling-off-a-cliff in late 2008, Private Equity & Venture Capital investments in India have displayed steady signs of recovery since mid-2009. The environment for exits too has clearly improved with sharp up-tick in IPO and M&A activity. However, the scenario for new fund raising still remains murky. In this context, key players in the Indian Private Equity and Venture Capital ecosystem will converge at Venture Intelligence APEX '10 to introspect and brainstorm on the way forward.
Scheduled for February 3-4 at Mumbai, The Summit will feature high power panel discussions on the year ahead for Private Equity and Venture Capital in India. The event will also feature special panel discussions on PE/VC investments in various sectors including Education, Financial Services, Healthcare & Life Sciences and Telecom.
"The global economic upheaval over the last 18 months and also the stunning return to power of the ruling Congress-led government in India, has thrown up several changes to the mix of spaces and sectors that will find favour among investors in the years ahead.
