A legal and structural overview of the Indian VC industry. India continues to attract a substantial portion of global private equity capital, says the Indian Venture Capital Journal. Backed by a strong IT services sector and the more recent IT enabled services - business process outsourcing - India continues to be on the radar screen of most global private equity players. In 2004, during the period January-December, India attracted private equity investment of US $3.75 billion.

In the year 2004, Foreign Direct Investment from Mauritius accounted for 31.23% of total inflows into the country followed by USA with 20.15%, Netherlands with 15.41%, Germany with 4.92%, UK with 4.46% & Japan with 3.61% of the total inflows.
