Private equity and venture capital play a pivotal role in fueling the growth of high-potential companies. Beyond providing essential funding, they offer strategic guidance, process optimization, market intelligence, and mentorship, enabling businesses to scale effectively and navigate critical growth phases. Securing the right investment at the right time is often the key to a company’s success. Notable examples of companies that have thrived with such support include Flipkart, Paytm, Dream11, Ola, Swiggy, and Zepto.
India is one of the most attractive & emerging investment destinations for PE VC funds. That said, funds are increasingly becoming selective while making investment decisions and quality of business is a priority. Given the economic and other impact of the Covid-19 Crisis, it is important to be abreast of the emerging issues across business sectors, growing expectations amongst the funds and their impact on PE/VC deals.
On the other hand, a lot of effort goes in finding the right investor for a business or vice versa. When you do, it is important to have investment agreements that represents the interests of everyone involved. The investor would want to make sure its investment is protected, and the company will want to make sure that the funds are delivered smoothly and the founders have protected their stake in the venture. This makes writing a proper investment contract a critical first step in the business relationship. Clear & unambiguous investment agreement is very significant to establish a win-win situation for the parties involved in any PE, VC and M&A Deals.
