"India was our most important market for our Asian strategy, and we did half of the eight deals from our first fund in the country. The region is emerging as one of the most interesting secondary markets out there driven by a conducive regulatory environment and we think there are a lot of the right conditions for this market to really develop," Jason Sambanju, partner, chief executive and founder, told Mint in an interview.
