🌏 Asia’s Private Markets: India’s Evolving Role in the Next Growth Cycle 🇮🇳📈 LP Insights: Asia unpacks key investment shifts —from Southeast Asia’s supply chain realignment to India’s expanding IPO landscape. Surya Mantha, Managing Partner at Capria Ventures, shares his perspective on this turning point: “Five years ago, very few in India would have said #IPOs were a viable exit option for venture-backed companies. Today, the stock market has deepened, Indian participation is higher than foreign participation, and it offers terrific liquidity – it’s the fourth largest in the world. There is excess and irrational exuberance, but this will sort itself out in the short term. Over the medium to long term, IPO has become a viable and a credible option for venture-backed companies.” [Refer to page 29] This evolution isn’t only about exits; it’s reshaping investor confidence, capital allocation, and the broader growth trajectory of India's private markets. 📊 What you’ll discover in the latest SuperReturn LP Insights e-magazine: 🔹 Liquidity Challenges & LP Investment Strategies - How funds are adapting to shifting exit environments 🔹 The Growing Role of Private Credit in Asia - Why LPs are diversifying beyond traditional equity 🔹 Climate Tech's Inflection Point - What’s driving capital flows into sustainability-focused investments 🚀 As Asia’s private markets mature, the question isn’t whether to invest but how to stay ahead. 🔗 Read the full report here: SuperReturn | Informa Connect #AsiaMarkets #LPInsights #IndiaIPO #VentureCapital #EmergingMarkets #GlobalSouth
