There is an increase in interest from global private equity firms in acquiring Indian IT and software services companies. This is due to a rise in growth capital investments in the IT sector by global PE funds. The number of PE firms holding majority stake in Indian IT services companies has doubled between 2019 and 2022. Inbound deals from global investors for Indian firms rose 35% in 2023, outpacing the previous year's growth rate. Indian IT firms are seen as valuable due to their growth performance and potential. The total value held by PE firms in the sector has quadrupled, reaching $55 billion today.
