Introducing a new Masterclass designed to meet the needs of a burgeoning India private equity community in which a growing number of first-time fund managers will benefit from a wealth of expertise PEI will assemble on 6th October at Taj Lands End.  PEI will invite eloquent instructors from limited partners, placement agents, independent advisers and legal advisors who are thought-leaders in their respective areas of expertise to offer advice and useful insights on fundraising.

This Masterclass will be tailored to address the requirements of both first time fund managers as well as firms that are looking to raise follow-on funds in an increasingly competitive environment for capital raisers. Up until 2005, there were no more than 10 India-focused funds many of which are spearheaded by local financial institutions. Since then, India has attracted in excess of 400 funds, according to industry estimates.

More than ever, it is critical for fund managers to equip themselves with the fundamentals of fundraising, and get right from the start, what is the best approach to raise capital in an increasingly discerning world recovering from the global financial crisis.

The Masterclass will be held from 1400 through 1700 hours on 6th October, following a luncheon that brings to The Private Equity International India Forum to a close. Conference delegates are entitled to a special rate of US $295.
