Blackstone Revises India Strategy, Achieves Highest Private Equity Returns
Blackstone Inc.'s initial efforts in India faced challenges and limited activity during the global financial crisis. Over time, the firm revised its strategy to focus on majority or equal-control stakes in sectors like IT services, commercial real estate, and manufacturing. This shift has made India Blackstone's top private equity market globally. President Jon Gray highlighted India's rapid economic growth, rising to the world's fourth-largest economy, and expressed optimism about reaching a growth tipping point despite ongoing trade and energy risks.
