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.
