We are pleased to share that Karan Mehta, Venture Principal at Green Frontier Capital, was featured in Entrepreneur India for his insights on the evolving venture ecosystem in India. In 2024, VC-backed IPOs rose to 10 from just 4 in 2023, signalling renewed momentum though still below the highs of 2021.
Karan noted that to navigate this environment effectively, venture firms should focus on building strong investment banking capabilities, enabling secondary transactions and strategic M&A. These approaches can offer faster, more reliable liquidity for LPs and help manage portfolio risk by aligning exits with current market dynamics rather than waiting for perfect IPO conditions.
