    DEAL WATCHER INDIA MARKET UPDATE FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 FOREWORD Dear Clients and Associates, After battling the second wave of the COVID pandemic, the Indian economy is starting to gain some semblance of normalcy by the end of H1 2021. The pandemic saw the focus of businesses shifting from growth to sustainability. Despite of all the deleterious effects of the pandemic, start-ups are seeing million-dollar fundraises at billion-dollar valuations. 2021 is turning out to be a landmark year for investments by private equity and venture capital funds. In six months, India has witnessed the creation of 16 unicorns, compared to just three in H1 2020. A major chunk of the total private equity investments was in technology enabled sectors, benefiting from increased digital adoption during the pandemic. The recent Zomato IPO indicates the heightened interest amongst retail investors and the same is mirrored by companies like Paytm who have rushed to file for going public. A gradual decrease in the infection rate and an aggressive vaccination push have brightened the near-term prospects for the economy but the rising inflation and fuel prices continue to remain a concern for the masses. In the quarter ended June, there were 476 private equity investments & venture capital investments with reported values of over US$ 15.52 bn. Byju’s, Swiggy and Mphasis walked away with a significant share (22% approximately) of the cumulative deal value. Key deals include: • EdTech giant Byju’s surpassed Paytm to become India’s most valued startup after a series F fundraise of US$ 1.48 bn during the quarter • Blackstone rolled over its stake in Mphasis Ltd to a separate fund triggering an open offer to acquire an additional 26% in the company.
