PRACTUS HURUN INDIA PE PERFORMERS 2022

In Search of India’s Top PE Invested Companies and their Investors

Foreword

 

During the initial history of India Inc., post-independence, some of the biggest and most respected veteran family houses have either grown by bootstrapping or through debt and eventually through IPO. However, over the last decade, some of the biggest value creation stories have emerged from the start-up ecosystem, where high-risk capital was deployed on hypergrowth start-ups. Although compared to other big economies, Private Equity (PE) in India is still in its infancy, for the next decade of growth in India Inc., PE funding would be one of the catalysts. In his speech, Prime Minister Modi envisaged that India would become a developed nation by 2047 and for this, PE would play a major role in helping Indian companies achieve scale. 

PE funds, which are usually backed by institutional investors such as pension funds and so on that have a relatively lower risk appetite, are typically interested in profitable, moderate growth companies – an antithesis to the start-up investment which focuses on hypergrowth over profitability (so far…). The international PE funds and LPs are keenly looking at India and it might be imperative for Indian companies that wish to scale to align with the investment thesis on the “PE world”. Triggered by inflation, complicated geopolitical situation, and lacklustre tech IPOs, the funding winter has triggered a sharper focus on unit economics. India currently has 12 companies in the Hurun Global 500, which is a ranking of the world’s most valuable private companies. An active private equity market will help India produce more valuable companies and more representation on the list.


The long-term objective of Practus Hurun India PE Performers 2022 is to track India’s private equity landscape and celebrate the stories of success based on the financial performance of the investee company. In this context, the Practus Hurun India PE Performers 2022 is an attempt to capture the funding ecosystem and the contribution of fund managers who work in collaboration with the company’s leadership teams to create great companies. This list gives a snapshot of the funds and the fund managers, who have Practus Hurun India PE Performers 2022 provides an overview of funds that have been a part of investment rounds where there was at least US$25 mn of investment, and a single investor has invested at least US$10 mn, as a qualifying criterion. More importantly, we have looked at companies which reported a growth in revenue, EBIDTA and operating cash flow for FY21 over the FY20 numbers.

                           

The compilation of the report, albeit brief, was a challenging exercise due to lack of data. We do hope that the list and the report will become bigger in proportion to size of the PE landscape in the country. Do let us know your thoughts and feedback.
 

 
Happy Reading!

About Hurun India

 

“Promoting Entrepreneurship Through Lists and Research”

 

Hurun India was launched in 2012, under the leadership of Anas Rahman Junaid, a graduate of the University of Oxford. Junaid met Rupert Hoogewerf, the founder of Hurun Global, through Oxford University and the duo thought it was the right time to speak about wealth creation in India as they saw India booming. Since then, Hurun India has been in the pursuit to celebrate the stories of India’s transparent wealth creation, innovation, and philanthropy.

The Five core pillars of Hurun India are:
 

  1. Wealth Creation - We celebrate transparent wealth creation by bringing to light the success stories of some of the most amazing entrepreneurs through Hurun Rich Lists.

 

  • Hurun India Rich List is a ranking of individuals with a net worth of INR 1,000 Crore+ and has grown to become the most comprehensive rich list from India. Over the last decade, the list grew from 100 individuals from 10 cities to 1,007 richest Indians, from 76 cities.

  • Hurun Real Estate Rich List ranks the most successful Real Estate entrepreneurs in the country. 

  • Hurun India Wealth Report is the most detailed Hurun study on the wealth distribution landscape in India.
     

  1. Value Creation - Under this pillar, Hurun celebrates the success stories of some of the most respected Indian companies through Hurun India 500 - a ranking of most valuable non-state-controlled companies and emerging companies and investors that make the future look bright for India through the Hurun India Unicorn Index, Gazelle List, Cheetah List, and Top Investors List.
     

  2. Sustainability and Philanthropy - Hurun India Philanthropy List, which is on its 6th anniversary, ranks India’s most generous entrepreneurs. Hurun India Impact 50 list ranks India’s most sustainable companies based on their alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
     

  3. Art - In 2019, the Hurun India Art List was launched, aimed at tracking some of the most successful artists who are alive today by way of cumulative auction prices. Through the art list, our endeavour is to encourage individuals to collect Indian art.
     

  4. Lifestyle and Luxury -The Hurun Luxury Consumer Survey debuted in 2019 to encourage an understanding about lifestyle and brand preferences of ultra-high net worth individuals, while curating a survey to help them explain their spending habits.

 

Globally, the Hurun brand registers an estimated 8 bn views, 50% YoY growth, on the back of lists and research reports.

 

Hurun India serves as India’s definitive voice celebrating wealth creation, innovation, and growth. Last year, Hurun further expanded its repertoire by releasing the Hurun Global Rich List 2022, a ranking of the 3,381 US dollar billionaires, so-called ‘Nine-Zero Club’, currently in the world and the tenth India Rich List which ranks the 1,007 richest individuals in India, allowing for comparisons between some of the most dynamic economies in the world. The purpose of this list is to try and tell the story of modern India through the eyes of an entrepreneur.
