Ever since the early 1990s the eco-system of private equity, venture capital and AIFs has grown in India thanks to GPs and mainly international LPs. In the last decade, regulatory reforms have led to the entry of domestic banks, pension funds, insurance companies, Government fund-of funds, and high-net-worth individuals who have acted as LPs.

​

Various players including LPs, GPs and members of the ecosystem requested the  formation of  India's association for limited partners christened the 'Indian Limited Partners Association' (INLPA).

​

INLPA will bring many benefits to Indian limited partners.

 

Firstly, It is a forum for LPs to exchange views and knowledge about  Indian and International venture capital and private equity markets.

​

Secondly, INLPA will share the best investment and governance practices to enhance confidence among them, leading to more significant capital flows, consistent with LPs' risk tolerance. Such flows will lead to greater job creation, innovation, and industrial advancement in India.

​

Thirdly, it will provide leadership and volunteering opportunities to senior and young LPs alike.

​

Finally, INLPA will engage with India's regulatory bodies to address issues and hurdles affecting LPs and their investment strategies.
