 "Sell-downs, IPOs dominate private equity exits in November, shows data")
November proved to be a good month for private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) funds as far as exits via initial public offerings (IPOs) and sell-downs in listed firms were concerned.
The month recorded six PE-backed IPOs worth $361 million.
Meanwhile, PE investors sold shares in 13 listed firms worth $857 million, according to a report by the Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association (IVCA) and EY.
The share sales were mainly based on the expiry of the subsequent IPO lock-in period in several marquee start-ups.
