Financial Services and Information Technology

In 2025, India's financial services and IT sectors are poised to be the most attractive for private equity (PE) buyouts. This marks a shift from 2024, where real estate and healthcare led the buyout space. Service-oriented sectors like financial services and IT are preferred by PE firms due to their operational dynamics, requiring less direct involvement from investors. Notably, India experienced a 39% increase in PE and venture capital buyouts in 2024, totaling $16.8 billion. Major deals included Brookfield's acquisition of ATC India for $2.5 billion and Warburg Pincus's purchase of

Housing Finance for $555 million.
