Day 1: IVCJ Conference on Private Equity for IT/ITeS & Technology

Information Technology and IT enabled Services have been the biggest growth drivers for the Indian economy in the past few years.

Day 2: Workshop on Private Equity & Venture Capital
at the Company level for SMEs

While India's banking and merchant-banking marketplace is well established and matured, the Venture Capital & Private Equity market in India is still in its early growth stages, with ample room for many more players. Buoyed by rapid economic expansions witnessed over the last 3 years, India is now on the top of the heap amongst Asian economies with respect to venture capital and private equity interest and activity. Not surprisingly, this marketplace is experiencing a scarcity of the specific skill-sets required by existing and newly entering VC and Private Equity players.

Over the last few years, we have witnessed tremendous growth in the private equity marketplace. While the growth has been striking, the potential for future development is even more impressive. Both the demand for and supply of such capital is likely to expand. Our instructional course on Private Equity & Venture Capital equips you to move into the fast track for understanding market dynamics and building a strong competency on valuation, deal modeling and structuring.

Limited class size:

Our commitment to small class size means that the spaces on this workshop are allocated on a first come, first served basis. Therefore we strongly advise you to enroll early to be sure of securing your place.
