What is Private Equity?

By definition: “Private Equity is the provision of equity capital by financial investors – over the medium or long term – to non quoted companies with high growth potential”

Private equity is illiquid, ownership is concentrated, valuation is difficult, intermediaries tend to be small, finance is accompanied by control and mentoring

Public equity is liquid, ownership is dispersed, valuation is relatively easy, intermediaries are large, finance is often divorced from control and mentoring 

Venture Capital, is a sub‐set of Private Equity and refers to equity investments made for:– The launch– Early development– Or expansion of a business

Venture Capital focuses primarily on entrepreneurial undertakings rather than on mature businesses The essential difference between the two is the stage of investment

Evolution of Private Capital in India

The first generation venture capital funds were launched by financial institutions like ICICI and IFCI

1984: ICICI launched it VC scheme to encourage start‐up ventures in the emerging technology sectors

IFCI and Canara Bank followed by launching their own technology oriented VC funds Between 1995‐2000 several foreign funds like Baring PE partners, CDC Capital, Draper 

International, HSBC Private Equity and Warbug Pincus had set food in India The first set of regulations around VC started coming in the mid‐90s:

– SEBI introduced the SEBI Venture Capital Funds Regulations, 1996– These regulations were further amended based on the recommendations of the K.B. 

Chandrashekhar Committee in 2000

The technology bust in 2000 saw a PE slow down, when many foreign investors fled India during that period

Today, global PE firms continue to dominate the Indian market, appearing in 9 of the top 10 deals by value in Q4 2011

Page 14: An Overview of Venture Capital in India by Dhanpal Jhaveri

Do not choose a VC player based on brand reputation but look at the VC firm’s fit with the organisation

Valuation is not everything. Long term alignment and comfort are equally important

Carefully understand the VC firm’s ‘Value Add’ model and see if the same aligns well with your organisation need

Do not rush through the process Share your successes but also be transparent about the weaknesses / improvement areas. Nasty surprises in the short term (post investment) will do a lot of damage to the relationship.

Do not ‘outsource’ assignments to the VC firm. They are not the ‘pilots’ of the business

Promoters expect VC’s to take quick decisions VC should not end up as an option of last resort for promoters when they are unable to tap the public or debt markets
