About the Webinar
Growth capital continues to play a significant role in India's private equity and venture capital landscape, supporting businesses as they scale operations, expand into new markets and strengthen their institutional capabilities.
In 2025, growth-stage investments in India reached approximately US$17 billion, accompanied by a notable increase in deal activity. Particularly significant was the momentum in the US$50-100 million investment segment, where the number of transactions more than doubled compared to the previous year.
While mega deals continue to account for a substantial share of capital deployment, the increasing activity in mid-sized transactions raises an important question: Is India's next major growth capital opportunity emerging beyond its largest deals?
As India's growth equity landscape evolves, investors are navigating changing sectoral opportunities, investment valuations, business fundamentals and the need to generate sustainable returns. The ability to identify scalable businesses, exercise investment discipline and create long-term value is becoming increasingly important in shaping investment strategies.
Against this backdrop, IVCA #WhatsNext brings together senior growth equity investors for a discussion on the emerging opportunities, investment considerations and strategies shaping the next phase of India's growth capital market.
