Private Secondary Sales Dominate PE VC Exits as Schroders Capital Plans Increased India Investments

In April 2026, private equity and venture capital exits in India saw a shift towards private secondary sales, which accounted for 59% of the $730 million total exit value, while public market exits like IPOs and open market sales contributed less than one-third. Meanwhile, Schroders Capital plans to increase investments in India, focusing on sectors such as consumer, healthcare, technology, and artificial intelligence, building on its decade-long $1 billion deployment across various investment types.
