Programme Overview

The venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) landscape in India has shown remarkable growth. In the first half of 2024, PE/VC investments reached $31.5 billion, marking an 8% year-on-year growth. This surge is driven by robust domestic demand and a favourable economic environment, with India’s GDP growing at an impressive 8.15% year-over-year. This industry is characterised by significant investments in technology, healthcare, and renewable energy sectors. The global market is also seeing increased activity in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), initial public offerings (IPOs), and leveraged buyouts (LBOs), reflecting a dynamic and evolving overall landscape.

Enroling in the VC/PE programme by the ISB Executive Education provides a comprehensive foundation in the principles and practices of venture capital and private equity. The curriculum is designed to equip professionals with the skills needed to navigate the complexities of the industry, including deal structuring, valuation techniques, and exit strategies.

Testimonials

The Success Coach was the highlight of this programme for me. I think that his commitment to ensure that he discussed the important aspects of how to unpack some of the VC/PE industry trends and encouraging participants to consider different points of view and nuances was tremendously helpful and appreciated. In terms of personal benefit, as someone who was exposed to investment-related discussions going around, it has certainly contributed to improving my understanding and also helped me to confidently engage and contribute to some of these discussions when the opportunity presents itself. It is an achievement after taking this programme.
