12. India PE Opportunity – in country
Many opportunities for Growth Capital Investments…
Lot of sectors are still expected to grow at a healthy rate (10%+ EBITDA CAGR)
Given the size of market and country, companies need significant amounts of
growth capital
Quality of top management (CEO & Direct Reports) generally very good
Large LBOs rare in the short term
Absence of disposals / sales by large companies in the short term
Regulatory restrictions on using debt for acquisition financing; offshore debt
technology is inefficient
12
13. India PE Opportunity - outward
Following strong economic growth and success, Indian companies are ambitious
and expanding abroad through acquisitions
Tata / Corus ($13bn) and Jaguar+Land-Rover, Birla / Novelis ($6.4bn) –
structured as LBOs
Bharti winning 5th license in Sri Lanka and bidding for 3rd License in Saudi
Arabia
Indian government regulations restrict amount of capital Indian Companies can
invest as equity abroad

14. India Investment Climate – Opportunity & Challenges
Opportunities
Over-supply of PE capital for limited good opportunities. Why is everyone
here? Differentiated strategy will still work
Public markets offers (selective) good opportunities (stocks down 25%+ in
2011) but dependent on the macro sentiment (US/Europe)
Challenges
Regulatory reforms required for PE – FDI caps, Debt in
LBO’s, Taxation, Corporate Governance – expectations are low in near
term
GDP growth has to be sustained - Policy reform and political stability
required (7 state elections in 2012 and coalition politics?)
Interest rates rationalization can help give a boost to domestic consumption
