Background :

Pursuant to IVCJ's successful events on REFs (Real estate Funds) and Private Equity & Infrastructure (http://www.vcindia.com/conf_past-conf.asp), and based on significant issue of addressing the immense investment opportunity, Dickenson desires to establish a more meaningful event for facilitating real estate and infrastructure investment in India by adding 2 extra days focussing on Raising Funds from PEs for Realty Based Companies and Legal De-risking strategies for Developers and REF Managers. Dickenson has merged the two separate annual conferences on REFs and Private Equity & Infrastructure into a single sequence of dates owing to the strong nexus between Infrastructure and Realty and therefore their respective stakeholders.

 
 

Programme Structure:

The Forum will span through 4 full days from and including the 23rd September, 2008, to the evening of the 26 th September, 2008. The venue chosen for this event is the Taj Land's End , Mumbai for Day 1&2 and J.W.Marriott, Mumbai for Day 3&4. The program structure over the four days is proposed as follows (subject to confirmations):

Don't miss the opportunity to participate in the “must attend” event, India's most respected Private Equity Investors' Conference on Real Estate & Infrastructure
 
 
   
 

Real Estate Focus (Day 1)

 
     
 

The Indian real estate sector has witnessed a revolution, driven by the booming economy, favorable demographics and liberalised foreign direct investment (FDI) regime. Growing at a scorching 30 per cent, it has emerged as one of the most appealing investment areas for domestic as well as foreign investors. With the economy surging ahead, the demand for all segments of the real estate sector is likely to continue to grow. The Indian real estate industry is likely to grow to US$ 90 billion in by 2015. Given the boom in residential housing, IT, ITeS, organised retail and hospitality industries, this industry is likely to see increased investment activity. However, with the recent global equity markets meltdown, India 's stock markets and the realty market dynamics have witnessed a veritable correction. In these tough times, have PE's made a strong enough case as a valid alternative investment class to developers? At the same time, have developers re-gauged their valuation expectations to be in-sync with PE's ground realities? These are just some of many compelling questions that will be debated in IVCJ's 3 rd landmark event focused on Real Estate Funds.

 
   
 
 
   
 

Infrastructure Focus (Day 2)

 
     
 

India 's economic performance, particularly over the past three years, has been robust on several counts. Economic growth has accelerated and is now averaging over 8 per cent per annum. In order to sustain this rate of economic growth, India's Planning Commission has estimated that investment in infrastructure - defined broadly to include road, rail, air and water transport, electric power, telecommunications, water supply and irrigation - would need to increase from 4.6 % of GDP to between 7-8 % during the Eleventh Plan period (2007-2012), which would entail an outlay of almost US$ 320 billion over the Plan period. The huge investments envisaged in infrastructure development will be mobilised through a combination of public and private investment. While the public sector may be the major contributor, the balance would need to come either from the private sector and/or through public-private partnerships (PPP). Opening up the sector, the cornerstone of Government's policy on infrastructure development, has led to massive investments and expansion in supply coupled with improvement in quality. This conference will witness the congregation of the key stakeholders involved in the build-up of infrastructure, to discuss, debate and opine on the thrills, frills and dangers in investing into India 's new infrastructure.

 
   
 
 
   
 

Raising Funds from PEs for Realty Based Companies (Day 3)

 
     
 

Over the last few years, we have witnessed a steady growth in the private equity & venture capital investment in the real estate sector in India . While there has been solid traction, the potential for future development is even more impressive. Both the demand for and supply of such capital is likely to expand. Our instructional and intermediate level workshop on Private Equity equips the participants to move into the fast track for understanding market dynamics and building a strong competency on valuation, deal modeling and structuring. Through this day, participants will get a deeper understanding on how the PE marketplace functions, and be better equipped to value, negotiate and close their funding needs through the PE route.

 
   
 
 
   
 

Legal De-risking strategies for Developers and REF Managers (Day 4)

 
     
 

Legal de-risking in realty deals are probably the most challenging and complex parts of any deal consummation. Fund managers are still getting their grip on this subject, with a strong case for this competency to become as much in-house as possible, even though the best legal minds have been engaged. Due to inherent imperfection in the realty space, often ‘business practicality' may need to override the safe domain of ‘legal wisdom'. With this in mind, both fund manager and developers need to be better equipped with this knowledge if they aspire to conclude high quality deals despite systemic imperfections. With this objective in mind, IVCJ and Legal Pundits have joined forces to get leading legal, PE and industry practitioners to share their knowledge and experience on this subject in an interactive format. This workshop represents an invaluable tool for investment bankers, fund managers and developers, to sharpen up their skills in the legal de-risking of realty transactions.
