The COVID-19 pandemic has left the world in economic disarray and India is not an exception.

India is facing the shock of Covid-19, with major import and export objectives impacted as well as the stock market which has taken a hit in recent months. The market disruption due to Covid-19 will likely leads to an increase in e-commerce, enterprise technology, healthcare, on-demand services and can create ample investment opportunities.

Private equity fund, the emerging favored source of alternative capital for Indian businesses is finally seeing some sign of revival, months after the business world was shaken by the Covid-19 pandemic. PE funds are back in the competition and are now supplementing talent to their teams – both for their internal strength as well as their investee companies. Funds such as Quadria Capital, Warburg Pincus, Sequoia, etc. among others, have been supporting their teams in the last three months when the world was under lockdown.

A majority of investors assume the fundraising conditions to be more challenging in the next 12 months, driven by record-setting previous years, cautiousness of a slow economy, and limited partnerships being selective with increasing competition. PE firms said there was a need to add key workers for future growth. The versatility and long-term characteristics of private equity are particularly suitable in navigating the current situation of uncertainty.

While some funds are expanding their existing teams, some such as Quadria Capital, are building separate teams for investment and are in the market scouting for talent. Quadria Capital remains confident in India’s economic growth story grounded in sound government policies and strong demographic tailwinds and will continue to onboard the right talent at all levels to support that investment thesis. Lower valuations during COVID times offer an opportune time for PEs to buy and hire for their portfolio companies.
