India to get bulk of QED's $925 mn fund
 

According to Sandeep Patil, partner and head Asia at QED Investors, India is one of its most important markets outside the US.

“If you look at the big market that India has, and the capacity to absorb lots of amount of capital and return at a commensurate level, India stands out as the big opportunity," he added.

Of the $925 million, around $650 million will be invested in venture deals while the rest will be deployed for growth-stage deals, Patil said.
