Themes – High Conviction Calls

Consumer

  • India poised to become 3rd largest consumer market globally by 2025 – domestic consumption drives 62% of GDP
  • India’s per capita GDP crossed US$ 2,000 in 2019 – the tip off point when spending on discretionary items accelerates

IT Services

  • Massive thrust on digital transformation by enterprises – resultant growth in data services including analytics and data engineering
  • Cloud migration services as an industry is projected to grow at 25- 30% p.a.

Healthcare

  • India becomes world’s most populous nation – 60+ age bracket to increase in growth rate 
  • Technology will lead the transformation. Health tech market to grow at a ~40% CAGR to reach US$ 50 bn by 2033

Financial Services

  • Vastly underserved market – India’s private debt to GDP at ~55% remains 1/3rd of the global average. Significant gaps exist in both retail and wholesale lending
  • Yet, credit is the backbone for economic growth – multiplier on nominal GDP of ~1.5x 

Enterprise Tech

  • India has emerged as a global leader in SaaS, behind only the US 
  • Indian SaaS companies are expected to grow at 20-25% CAGR during 2022-27 with near doubling of their global market share

B2B Services

  • Indian B2B, a US$ 2 tn opportunity, is one of the largest and fastest growing B2B markets globally
  • Domestic PLI schemes, global supply chain realigning to China+1 will be significant growth drivers

Stage – Why prefer Series B/C?

  • Higher risk adjusted growth – Series B/C companies demonstrate more sustainable PMFs, with lower mortality risk even while offering higher growth
  • Sizeable TAM – annual deal value for this stage is similar to that for late stage (Series D+), thus enabling sizeable liquidity for entry and exit options

Why are they also convinced about Late Stage?

Funding Winter 

  • Limited deal activity in late stage startups. 100mn+ mega-rounds dropped by half in volume
  • Mainly as most leaders are sitting on significant cash balance – runway for 2-3 years and don’t want to dilute at levels below par

Lack of Exits

  • IPOs for PE/VC backed companies get pushed out – exit via public markets dropped ~80% YoY in value and ~60% in volume
  • Secondary exits recorded drop 67% YoY drop in value and 45% in volume as buyers and sellers waited it out

Implications

  • Cap tables would come under pressure – Investors and shareholders would need liquidity
  • In time, opportunistic trades will increase and drive deal activity

Conviction Call 

  • Underlying business growth will continue. However, valuations are likely to be flat or trend downwards – implying correction in valuation multiples
  • In addition, growth at all costs leading way to profit after all costs – better companies at reasonable prices
