Venture capital investment is undergoing some interesting transitions. Developing economies like India and China continue to attract investments, early stage finance is becoming increasingly globalised.  Investors are backing consumer and retail firms that benefit from the rise of the Indian middle class, as well as business services that cater to the nation’s growing economic sector.  The other transition is that the capital flowing to India is designed to expand existing companies.  By contrast, venture capital in the United States, Europe and Israel is usually dedicated to backing new technologies or services.

In the present situation, opportunities in India for a venture capitalist are enormous.  True, a VCs exit routes are not so positive at the moment.  But careful selection of growth sectors will bring in profits at both ends - Immediate earnings and wealth creation at a more opportune time.  A VC can make attractive pickings at this time.
