Mumbai, February 13 (NationPress) The private investment landscape in India achieved unprecedented success last year, with a remarkable $60 billion flowing through 1,595 transactions, as highlighted in a report released on Thursday.
The momentum for sustained growth stage investments remained strong at $10 billion, marking a record level with over 150 growth deals added since 2023.
Growth-oriented fundraising has surged to an impressive 29 percent share of total fundraising, the highest in the past five years, according to the collaborative report by the Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association (IVCA) and Praxis Global Alliance.
The ‘India Growth Equity Report 2025’ indicates that as exits from growth stage investments increase, public market exits account for 60 percent of the total exit value.
With a positive outlook for growth deals and fundraising anticipated in 2025, funds are increasingly prioritizing value creation. This includes enhanced engagement with portfolio companies through operational teams and the establishment of continuation funds to maximize value.
Furthermore, investors foresee vigorous growth in deal activities and sustained growth across sectors such as consumer applications and platforms, SaaS/AI, e-commerce, listing platforms, and BFSI sectors in 2025, as per the report.
Rajat Tandon, President of IVCA, stated that India's economic strength and consistent growth present an attractive proposition for both domestic and international investors.
“From FMCG leaders to manufacturing firms — access to patient, long-term capital is crucial for scaling operations and propelling India’s industrial and economic evolution,” he remarked.
Madhur Singhal, Managing Partner and CEO of Praxis Global Alliance, noted that in 2025, robust deal activities and fundraising are projected to maintain momentum for exits, thereby enhancing India’s dynamic growth investment ecosystem.
As the outlook for growth deals and fundraising is expected to rise in 2025, funds are increasingly focusing on value creation with increased participation with portfolio companies via operating teams and setting up continuation funds to realize maximum value.
