New Delhi, April 5, 2012: Indian Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (IVCA), a unified and influential voice of private equity and venture capital, is organising - IVCA Conclave 2012. The first such industry conclave is organized to showcase the contribution of Private Equity and Venture Capital to the economic growth of the country. The conclave with a theme of “Celebrating the 10 years of PE VC”, will project the positive contribution of the industry in fostering innovation and entrepreneurship at the mega conclave scheduled on April 19th at The Leela Palace, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi.
“Aptly themed, the conclave intends to send out optimistic message to prepare the industry for a better tomorrow,” says, Mahendra Swarup, President, IVCA.
Calling upon all stake holders in PE, VC and policy makers to join and discuss every possibility of collaboration for growth, Mr. Swarup says, “This probably is the best opportunity when all of us, the Limited Partner’s, General Partner’s and policy makers will be together to create an avenue of projecting ‘the India Potential’ to all stakeholders. There have been heavy investments in technology, telecom, infrastructure, supply chain and logistics in the last decade. With the recent Union Budget proving to be beneficial to the Venture Capital industry, keeping in mind the ‘removal of restriction of VCFs to invest in nine sectors’, we feel that this move will now support the start ups across industries and will further fillip the growth of the sector. Venture Capital and Private Equity Funds are urgently needed by the small and medium sector to start new ventures and scale up existing ones. This segment needs to be expanded fast not only for innovative and high tech start ups but also for conventional industries.”
Supported by all major players of the industry, the Conclave will see over 250 + thought leaders from across the globe sharing their vision and views. IVCA Conclave will enclose key sessions focusing on Milestones & Learning over the past 10 years, Investment Opportunities & Emerging Markets Strategy, Opportunities and Challenges as we look forward and Role of Early Stage Investing in India.
