In this issue
In 2020, private equity (PE) investors and venture capitalists (VC) deployed $47.5 billion, making it a record year for investments in India. The spurt in deals also resulted in the country getting a number of unicorns last year. Our cover story is on VC firm Accel India’s investing instincts. It has mastered the art of spotting opportunities early and guiding companies such as Swiggy, Myntra and Flipkart, among others, to unicorn status. This edition has a special package on the PE-VC ecosystem in India and how it has evolved over the years. That apart, there is a pre-budget overview on mapping the growth route after the pandemic wreaked havoc on the economy.
