The private equity and venture capital market in India is poised for growth in 2024, bolstered by improved market valuations and significant dry powder. A report from IVCA and EY anticipates increased investments as corporate earnings rise. Despite concerns over US trade policies and rupee depreciation, investment activity remains robust, with January seeing a 37% increase in PE-VC investments compared to December 2024. Key sectors include infrastructure, financial services, and real estate. While exit deals were down in January, 2024 recorded a 7% year-on-year increase in total exits, mainly from open market transactions.
