India’s private equity market is entering a new phase – one defined not by dry powder or delayed exits, but by deal momentum, sectoral shifts, and an increasingly sophisticated exit playbook. After a challenging period marked by macro uncertainty and LP scrutiny, GPs are now capitalising on a stronger public market, strategic sales, and an uptick in secondary transactions. From healthcare and renewables to consumer tech and financial services, India is delivering real DPI, not just paper returns. This panel gathers leading GPs and allocators to explore how India has flipped the narrative, what’s fueling the current wave of exits, and whether this resurgence marks the start of a new investment cycle or the peak of a maturing one.
