Private investors withdrew a record 7. 7.3 billion in August

MUMBAI: Private equity and venture capital has withdrawn a record 2.5 billion in six deals, taking advantage of the exit opportunity in August. Easy liquidity and the flight of foreign companies from China to fund allocation in India has inspired a global bull not only to make new investments in PE-VC but also to take the exit to new heights.

According to a monthly analysis, private investors withdrew રોકાણ 4.5 billion in 7 deals in August 2021. In August 2020, it had exited ૭ 25 million in 12 deals and in July 2021, it had exited ૨૫ 1.5 billion in six deals. With this, the current calendar year 2021 has so far withdrawn the investment of ૭ 20.8 billion, which is the highest after the previous year's record of ૨૭ 5 billion in 2016.

The exit of PE-VC is normal, but it has seen a sharp rise this year as it is attracting a larger number of investments than in 2014. "Now is the time to buy and sell and given the current state of the markets, it seems like a good time for both buying and selling," the experts said.

In August, private equity and venture capital invested ૧૦ 10.8 billion, nearly five times the value of the same month last year. In addition, for the first time, a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (GUCC) has been listed by an Indian company.

Exit through strategic sales was the highest in August with a value and volume of ૩ 4.5 billion in 12 deals, followed by a withdrawal of ૩ 4.5 billion in six deals through secondary deals.
