I’ll stay on the board of companies that I’m on. But as we add people here, the percentage of portfolio companies will probably grow in India. By and large, we’ve done some early-stage and some mid-stage deals. We’ve also done a few late-stage deals. In fact, we believe we’re pretty well equipped to do the lower end of the private equity market. That requires more capacity. We’ve done it selectively in the US.
Are there specific situations you will look for PE-type deals?
Yeah, situations that make a lot of money (smiles). Usually, they would be in our domain. Sometimes, there might be other private equity players involved, but they would bring us in because of our expertise and understanding in changing trends and new technologies. We’re looking at a fairly large investment in the US right now where there is a private equity player involved. But we have relationships with customers valuable to the company, so they want us to come in. Either they need to do acquisitions of smaller companies or they need to be on top of changing trends, so they want to bring in someone to help them.
