M&A deals turned out to be a preferred route for exits as they contributed to 54 per cent of the overall exit activity followed by Secondary Sales and Equity Capital Market, which contributed 21 per cent and 13 per cent respectively to the overall exit activity. M&A saw a tremendous increase in transaction value and deal activity, with a surge of 17 per cent and 33 per cent YoY, respectively. In FY22, the number of M&A deals remained strong at 969, with a total deal value of USD 55.84 billion.

Startups captured a large portion of PE deals – 1710, representing 68 per cent of the overall PE deal activity.

Yatin Shah, Co-Founder and Joint CEO, IIFL Wealth, said, “The Indian PE/VC market has matured over the previous year, transitioning from a young alternative asset class to a much mature ecosystem. Companies and governments across the world have been embracing digital solutions to meet the needs of the altered environment and stay ahead of the competition after the pandemic. This was reflected in VC funding and the creation of innovative, digitally-based company models across several industries. The India Invests Report 2022 has assessed the robust funding landscape and identified trends that can translate into areas of opportunity and growth.”

Anirudha Taparia, Joint CEO, IIFL Wealth, commented, “Indian startups are well-positioned to meet the evolving demands of the Indian and global diasporas, and they are expected to receive additional capital in the coming years. While it took a decade for the VC/PE ecosystem to mature into its current shape, we anticipate that the next phase of its expansion will be significantly more rapid and expedited. IIFL Wealth along with VCCEDGE will continue to capture these evolving trends, which will allow the ecosystem stakeholders to maximise present and future possibilities.”
