FISME further estimates the market for PE funding in Indian SMEs to be around $5 billion in the near future.

“These PE players take a long term view towards their investments thus minimising the impact of the current downturn. Moreover, the returns from PE funds have been very strong, and this would entice the investors to make new investments in the future, irrespective of market situations,” explains N. Wadhwa, Director, SKI Capital.

And it’s not just the big names we’re talking about here that are getting global PE sharks hooked onto the ‘high-return’ bait. As per the 2008 report by The Federation of Indian Micro and Small & Medium Enterprises (FISME), PE players led by Avigo Capital Partners and Blue River Capital invested $1 billion in SMEs in 2007-08, an increase of 75% from the previous fiscal. FISME further estimates the market for PE funding in Indian SMEs to be around $5 billion in the near future. “Investment in key sectors like Real Estate, Telecom, Energy et al, by the PEs is likely to give them high returns,” suggests Ashok Jainani, VP, Research & Marketing, Khandwala Securities.

But after all the good news for India, one issue stays – the lock-in period, which will definitely test the patience of a few of these aggressive PEs. But patience we have, and patience they will have to keep... Will they?!
