India is ranked among the top three investment destinations for private equity (PE) firms in the world, as per a report by consulting firm Bain & Company.
The US, one of the worst affected by the global financial crisis, leads the table as the top investment location for PE funds followed by China, the report said. India recovered sharply ahead of most other economies from the slowdown that hit markets in 2008.
Rapid domestic expansion across several sectors is set to provide ample opportunities for growth-capital investing in the country, said Sri Rajan, head, PE practice in India with Bain & Company. "Given the growth trajectory in India, PE investments will pick up in the coming fiscal but the average value of deals will be lower than that of 2007, which was the boom period for investments. Key sectors that will witness an upswing in future are infrastructure and healthcare," he added.
