We recorded 50 transactions for June 2018, aggregating to a sum of USD 1.85B. Of these, just over USD1B, amounting to 58% of total deal amount, were reported for US based companies. China recorded around USD450m, or about 25% of total investment. Rest of the world accounted for less than 20%.
Around 60% of investments, spread over 20 transactions, went into supporting R&D stage companies, while the remaining went into healthcare service companies, digital health companies and health-tech providers. In India only 2 deals happened – one in services and another in devices space.
The largest deal was China’s I Mab, which completed a Series C financing for $220 million, representing one of the largest amounts ever raised in Series C by an innovative biotech company in China.

Increasing tax collections primarily by reducing evasion is one key focus area of the current NDA government, and its PM Mr Narendra Modi and FM Arun Jaitley. If this get this right, it will indeed be transformative for the Indian economy. Considerable public discussion has occurred on whether the twin initiatives – demonetisation and GST implementation – are mere disruptors or are having any real beneficial impact
IBR was also intrigued by these questions. We realise it is still early days for any results to show up. However, we went about first compiling some historical data for our own understanding. We intend to follow this theme over next few quarters to see where this is going
This data dump is uploaded for public benefit. We hope to make this more robust going forward
Deal activity remained robust with USD901m of reported investments in Jun’17. This lifted ytd2017, essentially 1H2017 reported deal amount to USD 8.2B, 85% more than the USD 4.4B amount reported in Jan-Jun’16.
In terms of number of deals, Jan-Jun’17 (1H2017) lags the same period in 2016, due to drop in angel investments. Deal count so far is 381, down 13% over Jan-Jun’16. Angel/early stage deals reported in ytd’17 number 246, as compared to 314 in the same period last year, entirely accounting for the drop in overall deal count. In contrast, 135 growth/late stage were reported in 1H2017, a growth compared to 125 reported in 1H2016.
In large deals, the biggest by far was Warburg Pincus’ USD 360m investment in engineering services outsourcing firm Tata Teleservices. Canadian fund Fairfax Holdings also closed 2 large deals.
Handicraft exports out of India is a high growth business. Handicrafts exports touched USD 3.66B in 2016-17, a growth of 11% over FY16 in USD terms. In Re terms exports grew 13.8% to Rs245B in FY17, as compared to Rs216B in FY16. These figures does not include export of carpets, which is another sizeable market by itself.
Over and above the handicraft exports, India exported around USD1.8B of carpets an floor coverings. A major portion of this is handmade.
Growth rates for both – handicrafts and carpets – are healthy. Over FY10-17, handicraft exports have grown at ~15% in USD terms. Over FY97-17, a 20 year period, handicraft exports have grown at 10.2% CAGR in Re terms. Growth rate of carpets is slower, but impressive nonetheless. Exports of carpets have grown at 5% in USD terms over the last 5 years, and 13% in INR terms
Most of the exports go to developed markets like USA, UK, Germany and Japan. UAE is also a key market. USA accounts for 26% of handicraft and 50% of carpet exports. UK, Germany, Japan and UAE all account for 5-10% each.
The healthy growth rate is a good sign for Indian artisans. This sector a large employment generator. According to a study commissioned by National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), the sector employed as many 9.6m people. It has created over 2 million jobs in the last 3 years according to NSDC data. The sector accounts for 15-20% of India’s manufacturing employment. This includes supplies to domestic market, which though is a smaller and less attractive market compared to exports.
Despite the gains made in export growth, India’s share of global handicraft market remains miniscule. According to a media interview given by a senior official The Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts (EPCH), size of the global market is USD 235B. Of this, some is produced and consumed locally. For example USA itself produces USD44B of handicrafts locally, and most likely consumes that locally. It is estimated that global export market could be in excess of USD100B. China is believed to have more than 30% share of the global trade market.
One reason for the small share of Indian handicraft is the fragmented nature of supply chain. The trade is catered to by around 9000 exporter, with maybe not more than 50 companies with revenues of over Rs 1B (USD15m). Their mode of selling is largely through trade shows. The long tail market, or the small retailer in developed countries is not catered to by the Indian exporter.
The report gives a brief overview of the Indian handicraft export business, the key government agencies and private sector companies involved in the same. It also touched upon the global market and some online companies which are created digital marketplaces for handmades.
Deal activity remained robust with USD1.8B of reported investments in April’17. This lifted ytd2017 reported deal amount to USD5.9B, 67% more than the USD3.6B amount reported in Jan-Apr’16.
In terms of number of deals, Jan-Mar’17 lags the same period in 2016, due to drop in angel investments. Deal count so far is 246, down 20% over ytd’16. Angel/early stage deals reported in ytd’17 number 156, as compared to 216, in the same period last year, entirely accounting for the drop in overall deal count.
As many has 7 deals reported invested amount in excess of USD100m. Deal table was led by the USD275m buy out of a BPO called Aegis Limited by Capital Square Partners. Kedaara Capital led a big round in a micro finance firm, and Softbank doubled down on its 2 biggest India investments: taxi hailing business Ola, and hotel room aggregator Oyo.
While investors in India are not aware of this business, globally B2B services to dentistry is a big business. The main segments of this market are: clinic capex; consumables; education, training and exhibitions. The size of this market is around ~USD50B at global level.
The size of the US market is around a third of this, around USD16B. The size of the retail market of dentistry in the US is USD160B. This makes B2B distribution around 10% of the retail market.
In India, we find B2B distribution is around 15-20% of dental revenues (less for more high earning dentists). This makes the size of the dental distribution market between Rs 20-25B.
The US market has concentrated; the two top companies have around 30% market share. This suggests scope for emergence of a scale player in the fragmented Indian market.
After the surge of PE investment in Dec’16, things once again turned tepid in the VC/PE world. Reported investment was just USD 361m in Jan’17, from 29 deals. Total reported deals were 68, the rest did not disclose deal amounts.
Among the notable deals was Warburg Pincus picking up 14% stake in listed multiplex operator PVR Limited for USD120m. This was a secondary transaction, with the promoter and existing investor Multiples PE fund selling stakes.
There were couple of large deals in the healthcare space, with online doctor listing site Practo raising USD55m from Chinese firm Tencent, and nutraceuticals API maker Omniactive Health Technologies raising USD35m from Everstone Capital.
After mostly a disappointing trend of investments through the year, 2016 ended on a high, with reported VC/PE investments coming in at USD 2.4B. This boosted annual total for investment to USD 10.6B.
This was still 24% than the previous year, when USD 13.9B of investment was reported. Deal count for 2016 ended at 842, down 4% over the 881 deals counted in 2015.
Dec’16 total was boosted by a mega USD 1.6B investment by Canada’s Brookfield Asset Management in tower assets to Reliance Communications. This is the second billion dollar deal by Brookfield; it had purchased a portfolio of real estate assets from Mumbai’s Hiranandani Developers in Oct’16.
In fact, Canada’s funds seem to have gone big on India this year. Apart from Brookfield, Fairfax, Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board and CDPQ were active. Between then, these funds have contributed to almost 30% of PE investments reported in 2016.

India is rapidly emerging as a key destination for foreign investment. Both foreign direct investment (FDI) and foreign portfolio investment (FPI) have seen robust growth.
FDI reached an all time high of US$ 56B in 2015-16, 6x more than the figure a decade ago.
Mauritius and Singapore are top FDI investors in India; this is due to tax regime. India has double tax avoidance treaties, and lower local tax rates in those countries mean that investors are routing FDI through them. Also, several investors prefer Singapore as a legal jurisdiction as well.
India has become an important destination for inbound FDI in a global context. In 2015, for ex, it was the seventh meaningful nation, behind the likes of USA, China, Brazil, Canada, UK and Germany. We are ignoring some of the other nations higher up on the list, like Ireland, Hong Kong, Switzerland etc, since these are routing destinations.
The report gives overview of trend in FDI, and the governing regime for FDI in India, including sectoral caps, procedure for setting up a company in India and so on.

Gross invested amount in Indian VC/PE space continued to show a weak trend, with March 2016 witnessing USD 504m of reported transaction.

Sectoral composition continued to be dominated by Internet related businesses, which accounted for a quarter of the total number of deals. Over Jan-Mar’15, 50 transactions have been reported where business models are driven by Internet.
In terms of value of investments, this month saw Real Estate sector emerge as the leading sector, cornering around 30% of total investment amount. This was largely due to a USD190m investment announced by Piramal Fund Management in an SPV of Omkar Realty. This SPV is building a premium project in South Mumbai called Omkar 1973 Worli.
Mar’15 saw 6 new fund announcements with targeted investment amount of USD735m.
February continued to witness robust PE deal activity in India, all though the amount of money invested dropped compared to January. 53 deals were reported in Feb’15, compared to 56 in the previous month, and 42 in February. In the first 2 months of 2015, 109 deals have been reported, as compared to 86 in the first 2 months of 2014.
Aggregate investment amount reported in Feb’15 was $696m, a sharp growth over $337m reported in Feb’14. In Jan-Feb’15, $2.1b of investment has been reported, as compared to a $534m in Jan-Feb’14.
The sectoral trends persist. Internet related businesses continue to attract VC/PE money. As many as 17 transactions were internet-driven business models. In value terms, though, the largest internet transaction was $26m, while transactions in real economy sectors of Healthcare, and Real Estate easily topped that. TPG Capital’s $146m investment in hospital chain Manipal Health Enterprises was the largest transaction of Feb’14.
Unlike US and some other developed countries, India’s car aftermarket is totally fragmented. There are no national level players of any significance.
Car aftermarket typically has 2 parts: the workshop market where repair and servicing jobs are done; and a pure retail market, where the customer buys parts and accessories. In the US, these markets are called DFIM (do it for me) and DIY (do it yourself) market respectively.
The report focusses on a segment of the retail market: car care and accessories. By car care, we mean washing and cleaning. Accessories refers to items like seat covers, mats; electronic items like audio and security systems; car care items like cleaning and waxing products, and application tools; perfumes; and exterior products like alloy wheels, luggage carriers, trims etc.
Overall, car care and accessory market is close to a $2B market in India. A few organised players are beginning to emerge. In car detailing and cleaning, 3M India, CarzSpa and Speed Car Wash are some of the leading names. In accessories, there are online players like Autofresh.in and carindiaaccessories.in. Reliance Autozone is trying to build a brick and mortar chain.
IBR believes this is a very attractive market for organised players to focus on. Current focus of organised players has been on ‘workshop’ segment of car aftermarket. Some other have focussed on second hand car sale. We think those are the more difficult businesses as compared to car care, and just about all of them are struggling. Fixed investment is high, getting customers is not easy, and OEMs don’t want these guys to compete with their authorised dealer network.
We believe the market has missed a trick. The Car Care market has very attractive dynamics. Gross profit of 50% is available to retailers, which is an excellent margin to work with. Unorganised players are getting marginalised in many markets. The same will happen here.

What website can I sell pi coins securely.DOT TECH
Currently there are no website or exchange that allow buying or selling of pi coins..
But you can still easily sell pi coins, by reselling it to exchanges/crypto whales interested in holding thousands of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
Who is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell to these crypto whales and holders of pi..
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners and pi merchants stands in between the miners and the exchanges.
How can I sell my pi coins?
Selling pi coins is really easy, but first you need to migrate to mainnet wallet before you can do that. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.

India is rapidly emerging as a key destination for foreign investment. Both foreign direct investment (FDI) and foreign portfolio investment (FPI) have seen robust growth.
FDI reached an all time high of US$ 56B in 2015-16, 6x more than the figure a decade ago.
Mauritius and Singapore are top FDI investors in India; this is due to tax regime. India has double tax avoidance treaties, and lower local tax rates in those countries mean that investors are routing FDI through them. Also, several investors prefer Singapore as a legal jurisdiction as well.
India has become an important destination for inbound FDI in a global context. In 2015, for ex, it was the seventh meaningful nation, behind the likes of USA, China, Brazil, Canada, UK and Germany. We are ignoring some of the other nations higher up on the list, like Ireland, Hong Kong, Switzerland etc, since these are routing destinations.
The report gives overview of trend in FDI, and the governing regime for FDI in India, including sectoral caps, procedure for setting up a company in India and so on.

Yes. Pi network coins can be exchanged but not on bitmart exchange. Because pi network is still in the enclosed mainnet. The only way pioneers are able to trade pi coins is by reselling the pi coins to pi verified merchants.
A verified merchant is someone who buys pi network coins and resell it to exchanges looking forward to hold till mainnet launch.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.
