Only 5-6% of the deals were buyouts and today, almost 50% is late-stage control deals. And PE firms have become much more confident about India," said Utsav Baijal, senior partner and head of India private equity at Apollo Global, an American alternative asset investment giant. There are many factors that have acted as catalysts for the growth of buyouts in India, Baijal said at Mint’s India Investment Summit. While buyouts continue to grow and become more dominant in the Indian dealmaking landscape, another major trend that will shape PE dealmaking is technology-led disruption. And that will change the landscape of what the economy will look like," said Shashank Singh, partner and head of the India office at global private equity firm Apax Partners.
