A $22 million plus investment to buy out the Tatas from their Yellow Pages publishing company (now called Infomedia India Limited); a $16 million investment in terry towel maker Welspun India; $11.4 million in TV picture tube maker Samtel; a 54% stake in clothing retailer Arvind Brands; a $4.3 million mezzanine investment – the first of its kind in India – in pharma firm ArchCommerz, etc., etc. Add to this talk of serious investments in the real estate sector and even co-investing with the big daddies of buyouts like KKR.
ICICI Ventureโs investments in 2004 are certainly complex. And BIG. Business Standard attempts to profile I-Venture in its new avatar

Arun –
What’s the buzz on angel investing in India? Can you give some inputs on deal size and past fundings.

AFAIK, there are no official stats on angel investing in India. Obviously, the numbers are bound to be quite big – since most start-up businesses in India rely on friends and family funds. But no stats. Sorry.
