According to Venture Intelligence, the leading provider of data and analysis on PE/VC and M&A deals in India, Online Services (including especially E-Commerce) companies attracted a record 64 VC investments worth $238 million in 2011 (compared to just 19 investments worth $91 million in 2010). Mobile VAS companies attracted 13 VC investments worth $48 million in 2011. (These do not include the private equity rounds of $200 million commitment by SoftBank to mobile advertising firm InMobi or the $40 million rounds raised by e-commerce firms SnapDeal.com and Fashion and You)
“Instead of engaging in subjective debates on whether there is a bubble building in the e-commerce sector, etc., at APEX, we plan to have a deeper and more insightful discussion focusing on India-relevant business models, operational issues and challenges that need to be overcome to make today’s valuations seem like a bargain,” said Arun Natarajan, CEO of Venture Intelligence.
