Stiff Competition in PE/VC Landscape as More Players Join In
Business Standard
|May 07, 2025
The competitive landscape for private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) funds is getting more intense, with the number of players going up to grab a piece of the pie.
According to "India Private Equity Report 2025", released by Bain & Co and Indian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (IVCA) on Tuesday, the number of PEs involved in deals in India has gone up by over 60-65 per cent between 2016, when there were between 100 and 110 funds, to as many as 170-180 funds in 2024. It represents a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 6-7 per cent in the last eight years.
India continues to attract strong investment from global investors. As much as 90 per cent of the top 30 global funds, based on assets under management (AUM), have an active presence in India and their number is already growing.
