Investment opportunities in India

Is this indeed India’s decade?

Increasingly, one often reads that the ‘Indian Decade’ or even the ‘Indian Century’ has begun. This excitement is exacerbated by India’s demographic dividend (now the largest country by population size and its young population), its economic growth and the sense that India benefits from attempts to lessen supply chain dependence on China.

That said, India has in the past failed to deliver on its promise.

Is this time different? Is this the right time to invest in India? What are the opportunities India is offering today? What are the risks?

We want to discuss these and other questions regarding India with Ranu Vohra. Dr. Paul Lerbinger will moderate our discussion.

Ranu Vohra heads Avendus, a financial services firm, being based in Mumbai. He has spent the last 20 years in the Indian financial services industry concluding several marquee transactions in investment banking and private equity. Prior to co-founding Avendus, Ranu worked with a Tampa (USA) based technology and media investment bank, Communications Equity Associates (CEA) and Hinduja Finance, a diversified financial services firm. He holds an MBA degree from FMS, New Delhi and has a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from IIT, New Delhi.

Paul Lerbinger is a former investment banker. He serves on the board of the Max Planck Excellence Foundation and took part in an India Business Immersion Trip with our firm. POELLATH offers another India Business Immersion Trip later this year. Gary Sussman from Tel Aviv is the curator of this trip and he will also be in Frankfurt to present the itinerary; see here.

Furthermore, we have prepared a short survey regarding your thoughts on investments in India. It only takes about 2-3 minutes and we would be thankful if you could take the time to fill it out: SURVEY. It will be an excellent preparation for our discussion (if you cannot come, we still encourage you to take part in the survey).

Looking forward to seeing you!

Best,
