The Indian Venture and Alternative Capital Association (IVCA) led a subsequent panel discussion on the “Indian investment environment.”

“India’s alternative capital ecosystem is entering an important growth phase, with investment opportunities emerging across various sectors,” said IVCA Chairman Rajat Tandon. “As global institutional investors turn their attention to India’s technology startup ecosystem, new avenues are opening up in India for long-term capital.”

Kwon Giho, head of KIC’s Mumbai office, which organized the event, said, “It was an opportunity for leading finance and investment figures from Korea and India to gather, review India’s investment environment, and strengthen their networks.” He added, “We will continue to do our best to promote exchanges between institutions and investment organizations operating locally.”

Yoo Dongwan, Consul General of the Republic of Korea in Mumbai, said that follow-up measures in the financial sector were being implemented after this year’s Korea-India summit. “I hope the dynamism of India’s capital markets and the competitiveness of Korean finance will combine to yield tangible results in investment and cooperation between the two countries,” he said.
