Private Equity Advisors India | Equity Advisory Services - Ernst & Young - India

Over the past several years India has emerged as a leading Asian private equity hotbed. The PE market which was barely USD 20 million in 1996 has grown to an astounding USD 7.46 billion in 2006. Today almost all the large global funds and foreign investors are competing for investment opportunities in India. Investors are no longer restricting themselves to providing growth capital but are targeting niches like buy-outs, real estate projects and distressed asset acquisitions. While the opportunities in India are immense, investors must keep in mind that the business culture and practices in the country can differ substantially from what they are accustomed to at home — often leading to pitfalls. As India’s leading service provider to the private equity industry, Ernst & Young has aligned its services to specifically address industry requirements.
