Private Equity facilitates an investment mechanism in shares of companies that are not traded publicly.

For example, ICICI Venture is one of the largest and most successful private equity firms in India with funds under management to the tune of $2 billion. It has invested in many start-ups and provided capital at a nascent stage of growth.

 

Private equity investors invest with a long term horizon and also provide valuable management expertise to run a company. Many companies are extremely successful because of private equity investors.

 

Once a company reaches a mature stage, a private equity investors may ask the proposed company to list its shares and might offer its own equity holding through an offer for sale.

Private equity is all about investing in an idea, where the promoter may not have the financial muscle to fund an attractive business proposition.
