"FIRST TIMERS" IN PRIVATE EQUITY

One of the striking aspects of this years placement is the entry of numerous private equity firms for the first time. Normally private equity firms donot employ from Indian business schools, but this jinx is likely to be broken this year, with private equity firms getting aware of the Indian talent. Most of these firms are relatively young and by their very nature, are small, as far as head count is considered. But again, by their very nature, these firms are amongst the most dynamic ones....Quite a good oppurtunity for people from finance background to move into this elusive sector.
