As buyouts gain traction, discussions focus on investment strategies, leadership transitions, and governance.

India's private markets are transitioning into a mature phase, characterized by a significant shift towards larger and professionally scaled companies. These changes have ushered in a boom in buyouts, now a crucial aspect of the private equity landscape.
