The Virginia, US-headquartered investment firm, which has expanded in Asia beyond India by investing in Indonesia and Singapore, has so far deployed $220 million in the region, Sandeep Patil, partner at QED and head of Asia, told VCCircle.

"It has been an expansion strategy, going country by country," said Patil. "Expanding to the developed Asia-Pacific (Apac) market... Japan and Australia in particular, is the next phase of expansion. With that, the footprint in Asia Pacific becomes wider."
