Preface
This research report has been prepared in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the
subject: Indian Financial System during the period of August 2016 to November 2016. As per
MBA circular and in order to gain practical knowledge in the field of the Indian financial
system, we are required to prepare a research report on the topic provided by our faculty
member – “factors affecting private equity in India”.
The basic objective of the research is to find out how the how the factors are affecting the
private equity decision and how the different companies take it into consideration. In this
project we have prepared a model and evaluated it on 165 companies and we have prepared
the process how to invest in private equity.
During the whole project we came to know the various ways of private equity the techniques
used by fund managers for the purpose of private equity.

Introduction Private equity is capital that is not noted on a public exchange. Private equity is composed of
funds and investors that directly invest in private companies, or that engage in buyouts of
public companies, resulting in the delisting of public equity. Institutional and retail investors
provide the capital for private equity, and the capital can be utilized to fund new technology,
make acquisitions, expand working capital, and to bolster and solidify a balance sheet.
Private equity comes primarily from institutional investors and accredited investors, who can
dedicate substantial sums of money for extended time periods. In most cases, considerably
long holding periods are often required for private equity investments, in order to ensure a
turnaround for distressed companies or to enable liquidity events such as an initial public
offering (IPO) or a sale to a public company.
Type of private equity funds
a. Leveraged Buyout: The PE funds provide capital for purchasing the company or the
controlling stake in it using debt and equity capital. As the term leverage implies it
involves using more of debt than equity. The buyout can be Management Buy In
(MBI) or Management Buy Out (MBO).
b. Angle Investing: It refers to investment in small closely held companies by wealthy
individuals, in which they generally have some operational experience. They may
have substantial ownership stakes and may be active in advising the company, but
they generally are not as active as professional managers in monitoring the company
and rarely exercise control.
c. Venture Capital: It refers to long term equity investment in novel technology based
projects which display potential for significant growth and financial returns. It
provides seed, start up and first stage financing to these industrial enterprises.
d. Growth Capital: Growth capital is a very flexible type of financing. The money
borrowed under a growth capital line of credit can be used for any corporate purposes.
There are no requirements to provide invoices or other backup material when
borrowing under this type of facility, so administration is simplified as well. Growth
capital can be a beneficial way to extend a company's runway between rounds of
financing. The extra time can be used to complete additional milestones that will raise
the company's valuation, or as insurance to ensure that all intended milestones are
successfully accomplished.
e. Mezzanine Capital: It refers to investment in those companies that have already
proven their viability but still have to raise money from the public market. It is
associated with the middle layer of financing in leveraged buy-outs.
f. Private equity funds are the pools of capital invested by private equity firms. They are
generally organized as limited partnerships which are controlled by the private equity
firm that acts as the general partner. The limited partnership is often called
'Management Company'. The fund obtains capital commitments from certain qualified
investors such as pension funds, financial institutions and wealthy individuals to
invest a specified amount. These investors become passive limited partners in the
fund partnership and when the general partner identifies an appropriate investment
opportunity, it is entitled to call for drawdown i.e. the required equity capital each
limited partner contribute to fund on pro rata portion of its commitment.
History of private equity
Venture capitalists often relate the story of Christopher Columbus. In the fifteenth century, he
sought to travel westwards instead of eastwards from Europe and so planned to reach India.
His far-fetched idea did not find favor with the King of Portugal, who refused to finance him.
Finally, Queen Isabella of Spain decided to fund him and the voyages of Christopher
Columbus are now empanelled in history.
The modern venture capital industry began taking shape in the post – World War II years It
started with the establishment of American Research and Development Corporation,
formed in 1946, whose biggest success was Digital Equipment. The founder of ARD was
General Georges Dariot, a French-born military man who is considered "the father of venture
capital.” But it was in 1980 venture capital industry began its greatest period of growth with
an investment of USD 600 millions. With the name including investment in Federal Express,
Apple Inc and Genentech Inc.
Venture Capital in India
Traditionally, the role of venture capital was an extension of the developmental financial
institutions like IDBI, ICICI, SIDBI and State Finance Corporations (SFCs). The first origins
of modern Venture Capital in India can be traced to the setting up of a Technology
Development Fund (TDF) in the year 1987-88. The industry’s growth in India can be
considered in two phases. The first phase was spurred on soon after the liberalization process
began in 1991. According to former finance minister and harbinger of economic reform in the
country, Manmohan Singh, the government had recognized the need for venture capital as
early as 1988. That was the year in which the Technical Development and Information
Corporation of India (TDICI, now ICICI ventures) was set up, soon followed by Gujarat
Venture Finance Limited (GVFL).
In 1996, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) came out with guidelines for
venture capital funds has to adhere to, in order to carry out activities in India. This was the
beginning of the second phase in the growth of venture capital in India. There are a number
of funds, which are currently operational in India and involved in funding start-up ventures.
The Indian Venture Capital Association (IVCA), is the nodal center for all venture activity in
the country. The association was set up in 1992 and over the last few years, has built up an
impressive database.
Market Structure and Activities of Private Equity
Types of private equity activities in terms of the stages of corporate development, where PE
financing is called for.
1. Seed Financing: Providing small sums of capital necessary to develop a business idea.
2. Start-up financing: Providing capital required for product development and initial
marketing activities.
3. First-stage: Financing the commercialization and production of products.
4. Second-stage: Providing working capital funding and required financing for young
firms during growth period.
5. Third-stage: Financing the expansion of growth companies.
6. Bridge financing: Last financing round prior to an initial public offering of a
company.
7. PIPE deals: A private investment in public equity, often called a PIPE deal, involves
the selling of publicly traded common shares or some form of preferred stock or
convertible security to private investors.
8. Leveraged Buyout (LBO): It entails the purchase of a company by a small group of
investors, especially buyout specialists, largely financed by debt.
9. Management Buyout (MBO): It is a subset of LBO whereby incumbent management
is3 included in the buying group and key executives perform an important role in the
LBO transactions.
Participant in private equity market
i) Companies: it includes those companies which cannot raised money through
capital market or has chosen to raise money through private equity.
ii) Intermediaries: they include private equity firm themselves which normally
organized them as limited partnership firm. Around 80% of private equity
investment is one through this mode.
iii) Investors: It includes pension funds, insurance companies, bank holding
companies, endowment fund, wealth families and individual who contribute to
private equity firm capital.
Regulation of private equity in India
Though there is no formal legislation to regulate the activities of private equity in inida. Yet
it is regulated by indirect legislation and norms. The inflow o foreign equity capital under
private equity withers through FII or FDI is restricted to imposed investment limits on
different sectors.
Apart from this the foreign investment under private equity is regulated by following to
Acts
A) SEBI regulation Act 1996: It lays down the guideline for venture capital a subpart of
private equity. It contains norms for registration, obligation, responsibilities, investment
condition and restriction, investigation and cancellation for venture capital funds.
B) Foreign venture Capital funds regulation 2000: SEBI sets up Foreign Venture Capital
Investors (FVCI) Regulations in 2000 to enable foreign funds to register with SEBI and
avail of some benefits which are otherwise not available under FDI route. Some of these
benefits include no lock up of shares held by registered investors and exemption from
applicability of valuation norms, thereby enabling investors to buy and sell shares in Indian
unlisted companies at prices they deem appropriate, upon mutual agreement between
buyers/sellers. However, they cannot invest more than 33.3 per cent of the investible funds
in shares of listed companies or debt instruments

Common Type of Risk while investing in Private Equity
Funding risk:
The unpredictable timing of cash flows poses funding risks to investors.
Commitments are contractually binding and defaulting on payments results in the loss
of private equity partnership interests. This risk is also commonly referred to as
default risk.
Liquidity risk: The illiquidity of private equity partnership interests exposes investors
to asset liquidity risk associated with selling in the secondary market at a discount on
the reported NAV.
Market risk: The fluctuation of the market has an impact on the value of the
investments held in the portfolio.
Capital risk: The realization value of private equity investments can be affected by
numerous factors, including (but not limited to) the quality of the fund manager,
equity market exposure, interest rates and foreign exchange

Research Design
A research design is a framework or plan for a study, used as a guide in collecting and
analyzing data. It is the blue print that is followed in completing the study. Research design is
the conceptual structure within which the research would be conducted. In this project I have
conducted descriptive research design. This design intended to provide accurate data
description and relationship between factors which influences the private equity investor’s
perception while investing the funds in any venture.

3. Detail Company Analysis
Chapter 4(a)
Model for individual investor and fund managers
Model 1: Factors considered by individual before investing in money
RETURNS AND RISK
ENTRY AND EXIT NORMS

FACTORS
CONSIDERED BY
INDIVIDUAL
INVESTOR FOR
INVESTING
MONEY
LEGAL FRAMEWORK
MANAGEMENTOF THE
COMPANY
FINACIAL CONDITION OF THE
COMPANY
ECONOMIC FACTORS
GROWTHRATE
NATURE OF INVESTMENT
OTHER FACTORS
This model depecits some factors which are necessary for any individual investor to see what
factors are important for the individual investor to take care while investing in any Private
Equity funds. They are mainly as followsReturnsand risk, entry and exit barriers, growth rate
, past experiance, legal framework,management of the company, nature of the investment,
finacial condition of the company, Economic factors and other factors.
Risk and retruns: The risk and return are the two important factors for considering any
investment opportunities . We always say that higher the risk is higher the return but it is
depends on the capacity of the investor . How much risk a person can take . That is why the
most important factor for any investment is the Risk and return which is being considered by
any investor before investing in any of the investment.
Entry and Exit barriers: The individual thinking capacitydepends upon the fact that how
much is to enter the market and what is the exit secenarioof the same . because if the market
is easy to enter that will lead to more investment while the exit barriers are hard than the
investor would take some time before investing in the same.
Past experiance: The past experiance in investment prevails a very important decision
making tool for investing because what the investor has faced while investing in the other
type of fund leaves an impact on the mind of investor. If the impact is good than the investor
will invest more and if the impact is bad than this will create a barrier in the mind of investor.
Legal Framework: A legal frame work is nothing but the legal procedure for getting the
investment. If the legal procedure is easy enough than the investor will invest and the
procedure of legal framework is hard than it will create a doubt in the mind of investor
therefore they will not invest in the same. Thus legal framework is very important for the
purpose of making the decision.
Management of the company: The way the company is managing their affairs how they are
treating their employees, how the dividends are paid helps the investor to take decision
regarding whether to invest in the particular company or not. Managemnet of the company
helps the investor to grab the insight of the company and to know that their money is invested
is at the right place.
Finacial condition of the company: The fincial position of any company gives the idea to
the investor that how the company is currently working and good is its position, one can get
the insight of it by using ratio analysis, comparative analysis, cash flow analysisetc. This will
giveus an idea that how the performance is and whether to invest in it or not.
Economic Factors: The Economic factors are divided into 2 parts that is micro and macro
economic factors they are mostly Economic factors which are GDP of the country, labour
laws of the country/ industry, etc
Nature of investment: The nature of investment like whether it is a long term or short term
is also helping in decide whether to invest in certain company or not . because it depends on
the investor what they want and how they want to invest.
Growth rate : The important factor for any investment is the growth opportunities of that
firm thus the investor would think in mind that how the growth is going to prevail in the
market for the following investment and in future what are its prospects and thus growth of
any investment helps the investor to decide whether the investment is worth while for
investment or not.
Other Factors: Their are some factors which plays an important part in letting decide the
investor whether to invest or not like perception of the investor, behaviour of the investor,
investor’s knowlegde about the market etc
These are the factor which affects the individualinvestor decision for investing.
Model 2 : Factors affecting invesment decision of fund managers
The above model shows that the factors affect the fund manager and how they help in
making the decision of the fund manager the difference between the fund manager and the
individual investor is that the fund manager is having a finacial literacy about the same.
Therefore the factors that affect the decision about the investment behaviour is somewhat
different which . Some of these factors are as follows like heuristic behaviour, prospect
Heuristic behaviour
Prospect theory
Risk and return
Finacing cost
Situation of capital
market
Herding effect
Corporate governance
Finacial analysis of any
company
Factors

theory, herding behaviour, corporate governance, situation of the capital market, finacing
cost, risk and return and finacial analysis of any company.
Heuristic behaviour: the heuristic behaviour is the pschycological behaviour which is
being discussed by many of the authors in their many reserach papers . because mainly
of these factors one would be able to make a proper decision . mainly heuristics
contains the following thinglike as follows Agency ,Overconfidence ,Anchoring
Gambler’s fallacy ,Availability of bias.
Prospect theory: Prospect theory is a behavioral economictheory that describes the
way people choose between probabilistic alternatives that involve risk, where the
probabilities of outcomes are known. the prospect heory helps the person to know how
to evaluate between risk and get the return. Mainly these thing were taken into account
for prospect theory Loss aversion, Regret aversion, Mental accounting.
Herding behaviour: herd behaviour is the way that which is the tendency for
individuals to mimic the actions (rational or irrational) of a larger group. Individually,
however, most people would not necessarily make the same choice.Mainly the
folowing things are included in herding behaviour: Other investors’ decisions on
selling and purchasing equity Selecting equity by other investors for exchange Volume
of the selected equity by investors for exchange Dering speed.
Corporate governance: Corporate governance is the system of rules, practices and
processes by which a company is directed and controlled. Corporate
governanceessentially involves balancing the interests of a company's many
stakeholders, such as shareholders, management, customers, suppliers, financiers,
government and the community.with the help of corporate governance one can easily
see that how the way one can handle the things up whether to invest it or not.
Situation of the capital market: the capital market is the place were the listing of the
stocks takes place and than one can buy and purchase the stocks in that market once
they are listed in the stock exhange. Here their some times it happens that their are
bullish and bearish terend in the market and thus this impacts the decision making of
the fund managers.
Finacing cost: Every thing that we tend to purchase has some cost which may be
directly related to it or indirectly related to it . thus if the finacing cost of the
investment is too high than the investment won’t take place .
Risk and return: for any investor this would be the most important factor to be
considered while doing so because they need something in return for their investment
therefore risk and return are the important factors for the purpose of investment.
Finacial analysis of any company: the finacial analysis of any company would tell us
that these thing would help us to kow the position of te company whether they are
using the investment for the proper purpose or not . these all these could be told by the
various things like comparative analysis of the finacial statements, finacial tools like
ratio analysis, cash flow statement etc.
These are some factors which affect fund manager investing decision.
(B) Process of Private Equity For Investment.
Process of Investment in Private Equity
Signing a Non-
Disclosure Agreement
(NDA)
Initial due diligence &
Management Presentation
Deal Alert (first review with Investment Committee)
Non-Binding Letter of Intent
(LOI) or First Round Bid
Further due diligence with management
Building an Internal
Operating Model
Preliminary Investment
Memorandum
Final Due Diligence and process up to submit a binding
bid
Update and Final
Investment Committee Approval
Final Binding Bid and Signing
The process of private equity has 10 main steps in it and below here it is being explained in
detail:
Step 1.Signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA): In a public auction, investment
bankers will often send out teasers, which are 1-2 page summaries about the company up for
sale. If the investment team finds the teaser interesting, they will negotiate and sign an NDA
to receive the company’s CIM prepared by the investment bankers. In a proprietary-sourced
opportunity, investment teams will often sign an NDA directly with the target company in
order to receive some confidential information regarding the company from management.
Step 2.Initial due diligence & Management Presentation: At this stage, the investment
teams will perform some initial due diligence to better understand the company. This
generally includes research on the industry, talking to advisors about the specific company
and the industry, and a building and enhancing a preliminary financial/LBO model using the
management’s projections to understand the potential returns of making the investment. At
the same time, the investment team may start reaching out to investment banks to hear their
thoughts on the company and understand how much debt financing (and what type) would be
available for an acquisition of this company. In a public auction, investment bankers will also
offer a select group of potential buyers an opportunity to meet with the management team
(referred to as a “Management Presentation”). The management team will present an
overview of the company while the deal team is allowed to ask them questions about their
business. In order to prepare for the management presentation, the investment team will
create an initial due diligence question list.
Step 3.Deal Alert (first review with Investment Committee): After reviewing the
management’s presentation and having initial discussions, the investment team will prepare a
brief (2-3 page) investment proposal and present it to the PE firm’s Investment Committee.
The first Investment Committee meeting can have a variety of different purposes, depending
on the PE firm. The meeting can be a deal update where no approval is needed, or it can be
the beginning of a formal approval process, whereby a deal team will be given permission to
submit a First Round Bid (discussed below) and/or a budget to spend a specified amount of
money (referred to as “cost cover”) on consultants or other deal-related expenses. If
approved, the investment would proceed into further diligence and discussions with the target
company and its investment bankers.
Step 4.Non-Binding Letter of Intent (LOI) or First Round Bid: At this point, the
investment team may present the target company with a non-binding LOI for the transaction
on certain criteria that have been shared with the investment team. The offer will detail a
proposed purchase price (often a valuation range is given, rather than a specified amount), a
proposed capital structure post-acquisition, key assumptions made, key due diligence areas,
approximate timing needed to submit a binding offer, the PE firm’s relevant expertise and
experience, and the necessary authorizations & approvals required by the PE firm’s
Investment Committee in order to complete the transaction. At this point, the target company
and its investment banking advisors will generally choose a few bidders to move on to the
next round in the auction process. The seller will base its decision on key considerations,
including total purchase price, credibility of the offer, the submitting firm’s experience and
value creation strategy, and the submitting firm’s compatibility with the current management
team.
Step 5.Further due diligence with management: The target company will begin providing
more detailed confidential information in what is typically referred to as a virtual dataroom to
the bidders that proceed beyond the first round. Some example dataroom files are the
corporation’s organization and legal entities, board minutes and reports, detailed operations
records, owned and leased property agreements, intellectual property documentation,
employee lists and employment agreements, detailed segment financial information, and
historical audited financials. At this point, private equity firms will begin reviewing all of the
relevant dataroom files and start to get more specific, detailed questions to the management
team. Follow-up due diligence calls will be held (through the supervision of the investment
bankers) with specific members of the executive and non-executive management team. Also,
based on the dataroom files, the deal team will start brainstorming the critical issues that they
will often hire third-party consultants to help investigate.
Step 6.Building an Internal Operating Model: After having detailed conversations with the
management team on all of the main drivers behind the business, the investment team will
start building a detailed operating model for the business based on reasonable forecast
assumptions. An operating model is a very detailed revenue and cost breakdown that is based
on specific drivers and assumptions (e.g. price, volume, raw material costs, number of
branches, number of customers, renewal rates, fixed vs. variable cost structure, etc.). All of
these breakdowns combine into one model to describe the expected financial performance of
the company in great detail. This gives the PE investors more detail on the drivers of
potential return for the acquisition.
Step 7.Preliminary Investment Memorandum: Once the team has completed a more
detailed investment model, and a comprehensive investment thesis (reason for investing) and
strategy (plan to carry out the investment thesis), a Preliminary Investment
Memorandum (PIM, typically 30-40 pages) is compiled to summarize the investment
opportunity to the Investment Committee. Sections in the PIM typically include:
Executive Summary: Details of the proposed transaction, background, and overall deal team
recommendation and investment thesis.
Company Overview: History, description, products & applications, customers, suppliers,
competitors, organizational structure, management team biographies, etc.
Market and Industry Overview: Key market growth rates, trends, etc.
Financial Overview: Historical and projected income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow
statement analysis.
Risks and Key Areas of Due Diligence: Potential risks to the industry/business and key areas
of completed and ongoing due diligence.
Valuation Overview: Comparable company analysis, precedent M&A transactions analysis,
DCF analysis, LBO analysis, etc.
Exit: Initial thoughts on investment exit options and anticipated timing of exit.
Recommendations and Proposed Project Plan: The deal team will recommend proceeding
with their proposed project plan based on a specific valuation range and budget approved by
the Investment Committee. The project plan will include the hiring of third-party consultants
to perform commercial, financial, and legal due diligence, and the team will hold further
discussions with potential debt and mezzanine financing providers. Deal teams will typically
perform only initial legal due diligence at this stage, since it is the most costly, and will
typically hold off on it as long as possible (usually until the final stages of the bidding
process).
Step 8 .Final Due Diligence and process up to submit a binding bid: Provided that the
PIM has been accepted by the PE firm’s Investment Committee, the investment deal team
and its consultants will perform any and all final and confirmatory due diligence in order to
provide a Final Binding Bid for the target company (discussed later). At this stage, the deal
team is now working exclusively on this investment opportunity (other potential investments
that the PE professionals on the deal team were working on will be put aside or farmed out to
other PE professionals at the firm) and is having daily interactions with the seller’s
investment bankers and management team. The bidder will send specific requests to the
company based on all key outstanding issues. These could include site visit requests, calls
with specific salespeople/non-executive management, or calls with customers and suppliers.
In addition, the deal team will be managing its consultants on other due diligence work
streams, including portions of the commercial, financial, and legal due diligence process
(detailed in “Areas of Due Diligence”). For example, management consultants (McKinsey,
Bain, BCG, etc.) are typically hired to perform commercial due diligence on the addressable
market, trends, and customer relationships. Accountants (KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers,
Ernst & Young, Deloitte, etc.), specifically within the Transaction Services group of the
accounting firm, are hired to perform confirmatory financial due diligence to ensure that all
the financial information provided is accurate. M&A lawyers (Wachtell Lipton Rosen &
Katz, Skadden, Sullivan & Cromwell, Simpson Thacher, etc.) are hired to perform legal due
diligence and to handle the initial drafting of acquisition documents. At the same time, the
investment deal team will be negotiating with the financing banks on the debt financing
terms. When negotiating, the deal team’s objective is to obtain the best debt financing
execution (i.e. choosing the right group of banks) at the most favorable debt terms. The deal
team will also assist the financing banks with their own due diligence by fielding their
specific questions and concerns in order to get them more comfortable with underwriting
their debt commitment. The average time for this entire confirmatory due diligence process
(occurring between the First Round Bid and the Final Binding Bid) is approximately 3 to 6
weeks.
Step 9.Update and Final Investment Committee Approval: Depending upon the exact
investment process of the private equity firm, an investment deal team must update the
Investment Committee on key deal issues in a number of potential ways. Once all due
diligence items are completed and the investment team is comfortable moving forward,
a Final Investment Memorandum (FIM) is completed. A FIM is essentially the equivalent
of a PIM (which was completed before the First Round Bid) that also includes further due
diligence from the deal team and third-party consultants, and specifically addresses the key
issues introduced by the Investment Committee from the PIM. At this stage, the deal team
will recommend acquiring the target company at a specific valuation, which the Investment
Committee will either reject or approve. It is very common for private equity firms to proceed
beyond the first round without submitting a final binding bid or being restricted to a
maximum price by the Investment Committee (i.e., they will not able to raise their price or
indicative valuation range, or may even fall short of the range specified in the First Round
Bid).
Step 10.Final Binding Bid and Signing: If it receives approval, the investment deal team
will submit a Final Round Bid (or Final Binding Bid) for the target company. This final bid
is almost always binding (i.e. all due diligence has been completed) and includes a final
purchase price, fully-committed financing documents from investment banks, and marked-
up preliminary merger agreements to be discussed with the seller’s lawyers. The seller and
its investment bankers will spend a few days discussing the various final bids and will
choose a winner. They will then work exclusively (and often exhaustingly!) with that bidder
in order to sign the transaction. Once a winner has been chosen, negotiations between the
lawyers of the seller and the lawyers of the buyer will continue to finalize the Merger
Agreement (also referred to as the Purchase Agreement) and other related transaction
documents. Several key points in the Merger Agreement will be negotiated, and the most
important of those is the Purchase Price Consideration (i.e., the definition of what is to be
subtracted from the Purchase Price to calculate the total amount wired to the Seller’s
stakeholders). Additionally, the Merger Agreement will spell out logistics of the wire
transfers to equity (and other) stakeholders, and how much is to be withheld for post-
transaction adjustments.

Aavishkaar Venture Management
Services
The name of our organization – Aavishkaar -means ‘invention’ in Hindi. Founded in 200 ,
with a vision to catalyse development in India’s underserved regions, it identifies capable
entrepreneurs, provides them with capital, supplements it with a nurturing environment and
helps build sustainable enterprises.
Aavishkaar’s big innovation is the adoption of venture capital methodology to serve the low
income market segment by creating scalable enterprises. Aavishkaar’s founding team faced
the challenge of modifying the investing methodology followed in the Silicon Valley.
Funding in the Valley typically focused on new technologies and breakthroughs in
intellectual property. At the same time, reasonable returns had to be delivered to investors.
This meant that Aavishkaar with its limited capital and resources had to find a large number
of startup companies scattered across underdeveloped regions and then invest small amounts
of capital in them.

quote goes – “ideas are passé, one simply needs to invest in great people – the rewards will
come”. Our strategy is to be ahead of the wave, to take calculated risks on emerging business
models well before the market has caught the wave. We believe that building capital moats

Eight Roads
Eight Roads is not beholden to fund lifecycles, fundraising, regulatory restrictions or strict
investment mandates. The stability of our proprietary capital combined with first hand
triumphs and scars from developing businesses provides an unusually steadfast attitude. We
adapt to what best suits the long-term success of the companies we invest in, not the short
term needs of a roomful of investors. We have the freedom to commit to a business for the
long term. We’ve invested in some of our portfolio companies for close to 25 years.
Discipline accompanies these longer time frames, not only in properly assessing the merits of
an investment theme and progress against ambitious milestones, but in knowing when we are
wrong or when a business is better developed or owned by others. This willingness to take a
long term position when it’s required could invite you to dismiss us as risk averse or slow-
moving. We’re not. The people who work at Eight Roads are ambitious, passionate and
innovative; our natural curiosity means we thrive on discovering insights, rooting out
investment themes and nurturing new concepts, often on a single theme such as food and
agriculture or biosciences. We respond to change and react to opportunities with informed
confidence and speed

Aspada provides patient capital to entrepreneurs reinventing fundamental services for
hundreds of millions of Indians. Our experienced cross-functional team manages over $100
million in capital and has a demonstrated track record of success in identifying, investing in,
and exiting early stage investments in India.
Venture Capital thinking in India has historically been greatly influenced by the successes of
the industry in the US and Chinese markets. This has led early-stage fund managers to back
companies that mimic the business models of startups in the American and Chinese markets.
These models are typically built to serve a demographic with a threshold level of income and
digital literacy, which in India translates to the top of the income pyramid. Thus, venture-
backed startups in India often fail to address the needs of middle and lower-middle class
India, which today account for over half a billion people.

India Venture Partners
India Venture Partnership is an alternative investment vehicle to the U.S. private equity,
stock, and real estate markets. India’s young, massive middle class has the nation poised to
become a global economic power. The combination of a one billion plus population, seven
consecutive years of 7%+ GDP growth, an explosive information technology industry, and a
conservative central banking policy has left India as a bright spot in the current world
economy. The early stage market that we are targeting is currently underserved. IndiaVP
managers are committed to identifying and mentoring growing early stage Indian companies
to capitalize on this opportunity.
India Venture Partnership assists these entrepreneurs by helping to build the requisite
legal, accounting, sales, operational support, and product development infrastructure in order
to achieve forecasted growth and profitability. The primary sector targets are technology
enabled product and services companies, including those in the IT, healthcare, and education
fields. The Fund intends to focus on companies that have a scalable business model and low
intellectual property (IP) risk, which need capital to grow to the next level. The Fund expects
to achieve profitable exits primarily through acquisitions of its companies by US and global
companies.
India Venture Partnership has a differentiated investment strategy that combines active
management of portfolio companies and co-investing to minimize risk and optimize returns.
The emphasis will be to invest in Indian companies producing products and services for the
fast growing Indian market. IndiaVP’s managers use their experience and networks to
identify proprietary deals with proven management teams targeting large growth markets. We
manage risk by investing in a phased approach, taking active management control, and
building co-investor syndicates with India based funds.

Fire Capital
IRE (First Indian Real Estate) Capital Fund is the first India-centric Real Estate fund to be
registered with SEBI.
FIRE Capital Fund was founded in 2004 to address a unique investment opportunity created
by the coalescing of favorable economic and demographic trends, the current composition of
the Indian real estate market and the fragmented nature of India's real estate development
industry. The Fund's investment strategy has principally focused on investments in large
format-integrated township projects located in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities and the surrounding
areas of Tier 1 cities. Such township projects can be characterized as mixed-use build-ups
focusing on residential development, but also include commercial, retail, hospitality,
infrastructure and/or logistics development aspects. Through these projects the FIRE Capital
Fund has pioneered the concept of "Satellite Urban Villages".The township projects the Fund
expects to invest in primarily targets middle and upper-middle class consumers by offering
superior quality products at affordable price points. FIRE Capital Fund believes that superior
risk-adjusted returns are available to investors in the Indian real estate market by following a
"value-added" approach that focuses on rigorous investment sourcing and effective execution.

TANO Capital
With its stable democracy, youthful motivated population, world class school system, use of
English as primary language, fair legal system, global affluent alumni, favorable government
policies and hard-dollar revenues being continuously pumped in by the explosion of global
outsourcing, India is poised for extensive growth.
Indian companies are not passively sitting on their hands content to just take the low end jobs
being outsourced—they are instead using the low end jobs to build and ultimately repackage
intellectual capital which can then be taken back out and used to compete with the very multi-
national companies who outsourced to them in the first place. They have access to much
cheaper intellectual capital than most developed nations, and they are clearly highly
motivated to advance.Past Indian governments had earned a reputation for impeding foreign
investment with tariffs, investment caps and tons of red tape. Recent successive Indian
governments, however, have repeatedly emphasized—both in speech and actions—their
openness to foreign investment and their goal of raising foreign investment inflows.
