Abstract
In this study, we explore the inter-dynamics among holding periods, return multiples, fund types, and exit routes of different VC and PE investments in the emerging economy context of India. We employ data spanning from January 2004 to March 2021, and our results indicate that there is a negative association between the holding period and return. The results also indicate that the average holding periods for India-dedicated and foreign funds are not significantly different. Furthermore, the results show that India-dedicated funds outperform foreign funds significantly in generating returns. Finally, the findings suggest that all exit routes can potentially yield similar results, contrary to the prevailing belief that certain exit routes guarantee superior returns. These findings provide useful insights for a spectrum of stakeholders, including entrepreneurs, practitioners, investors, financial analysts, and policymakers.
