India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, averaging over 7% growth per year for the last 4 years. It has a liberal FDI policy and allows up to 100% foreign ownership in most sectors. Key advantages for foreign investors include a large skilled workforce, strong manufacturing base, growing middle class, and stable economic and political environment. Major sectors attracting FDI include services, automobiles, telecommunications, and pharmaceuticals. While India provides many opportunities, investors should do thorough due diligence and have strong legal agreements to address intellectual property, taxation, disputes, and other regulatory issues.
Impact of COVID-19 on Indian Venture Capital IndustrySam Ghosh
Given considerable ambiguity around changing economic and industrial landscapes, most VCs may refrain from investment in companies other than their own portfolio companies. As many sectors are being disrupted significantly by the pandemic, many portfolio companies may need funding just to keep afloat. Given India focused VCs ended 2019 with a record amount of dry powder, they are positioned well to increase their stake in existing portfolio companies through additional equity infusion at attractive valuations.
Early-stage companies will have a hard time raising funds in the coming few quarters as VCs likely to prioritise strengthening their own portfolio companies and companies with proven product-market-fit and revenue models. At the same time, late-stage startups may reap the benefits of their user base and move to develop revenue sources.
Investment instruments and terms may become more and more conservative both in terms of economics and control. We can expect stricter liquidity preferences, stricter vesting schedules, and protective provisions.
Venture debt is becoming popular as startups try to avoid dilution at unfavourable prices and terms.
The current situation creates unfavourable circumstances for VC exits. Venture Funds may like to delay exits if possible to avoid selling at deeply discounted valuations. This may result in a longer holding period and thus lower IRR. Funds at the tail end of their lives may be forced to offer exits to their limited partners (LPs). This may lead to underperformance and/or increased sales by the LPs to secondary funds. The pandemic has caused rapid digitisation of various sectors. Established offline players may look for acquisition to grow their digital capabilities. This may bring strategic deal opportunities for digital startups and exit opportunities for VC firms.
Fundraising activity is expected to be slow in the coming quarters given fund managers may want to limit their exposure to risky investments in the current economic scenario. The pandemic has caused and going to cause a correction in various asset prices from public equity, real estate, and commodities. Restructuring of portfolios likely to further discourage fund managers from investing in venture funds.
In this tough fundraising scenario, tried and tested fund managers will have a significant advantage over new fund managers.
