Exciting insights from our Managing Partner and Co-founder, Ashvin Chadha at the panel discussion on Homegrown PE VCs with TVS Capital Funds' Gopal Srinivasan and Gopal Jain from Gaja Capital, hosted by NISHA PODDAR CNBC-TV18. Ashvin highlighted the increasing participation from retail investors in private markets, emphasizing the necessity for larger investment ticket sizes from institutions, with SIDBI leading by example. He noted that the returns for early investors have been lucrative, and in the next 5-10 years, we can expect significant rupee capital backing unlisted companies. Ashvin drew a parallel to the journey of domestic investors towards mutual funds, suggesting that private markets have similar potential. He also observed growing interest from family offices and retail investors in private markets and anticipated that larger institutions will join in a big way. In terms of expectations from the budget, Ashvin mentioned the need for clarity around taxation and hailed GIFT City as a welcome move, predicting that more fund managers will operate from there. An exciting future ahead for private equity and venture capital in India!
