PE has become one of the emerging and innovative sources of finance especially for the startups and high-risk projects.

The return generated from PE funding varies with the stages and more so on the exit routes followed. The common routes of PE exits in India are Initial Public Offering, Mergers and Acquisitions and Public Market.
