  India’s healthcare sector is at a crossroads — caught between soaring demand and limited infrastructure. Urban hospitals are bursting at the seams, while rural regions still struggle with basic access to care. Amid these challenges, one powerful force is quietly but steadily reshaping the system: private equity funds .   In recent years, India has witnessed a surge in healthcare innovation — from telemedicine platforms and diagnostics startups to multi-specialty hospital chains. But innovation needs more than just good ideas; it needs capital, strategic direction, and long-term vision. That’s exactly where private equity investment in India has stepped in — and is now driving real, measurable impact.   Let’s explore why equity investment in India , especially through PE firms, has become the backbone of the country’s healthcare transformation.     The Rising Demand Meets Infrastructure Gaps   India is home to over 1.4 billion people, but the ratio of...

Private Equity Investment in Singapore Post COVID-19

It will be very early to draw any conclusions about the long-term impacts of the Covid-19 crisis, but the top private equity firms in Singapore most prepared to endure this crisis will benefit more. Given the darkness surrounding the Covid-19 crisis, it is impossible to assess the longer-term impact on private equity industry performance.

Competition for attractive deals will likely decline, to private equity’s benefits. With the public markets discouraged and potential corporate buyers holding onto their investments, private equity funds are well-positioned to be the buyer for any deal that does come up for sale.

Fund Raising

For investors who have survived the 2008-09 economic crises, the current crisis is unlikely to shake their confidence.  The drop in fund-raising this time around might be less harsh than in 2008–09 when the global total dropped more than 50%. At the same time, various structural factors could restrict the amount of new capital flowing into private equity in Singapore for some time.

Returns

Expect returns to take a hit for some time as funds mark down their portfolios in tandem with the drop in public valuations. However, the impact will be unknown for several quarters, as market-to-market moves lag public equities and PE funds report quarterly.

The COVID-19 pandemic has tested the private equity industry in an unprecedented way, restricting their ability to jump as investors everywhere remained cautious or complacent. But as the situation begins to stabilize, private equity firms in Singapore will enthusiastically reengage and help lead the recovery, applying their expertise and value-creating capabilities to stand companies back up and position them for long-term success.
