GDP Growth 2010 – 2018*
• India is currently the world’s 10th largest
economy by GDP and 2nd largest by population
• By the year 2018, India’s GDP is expected to
have increased by ~50% as the country
continues to implement pro-growth measures
• The IMF estimates that by 2018, India will be
tied with the U.K. as the world’s 8th largest
economy

Current IMF GDP Rankings ($M)
• Indian GDP growth rates are expected to
significantly outpace GDP growth rates of the
“Advanced Economies”
• Near-term GDP growth expectations have the
Indian economy growing by 5.7% and 6.2% in
2013 and 2014 respectively, with growth
reaching 7.0% by 2018
• Structural challenges are India’s biggest
inhibitor to growing even more quickly

Liquidity Events Tend to Track with GDP Growth
• In 2011 and 2012, technology liquidity events
(M&A and IPOs) were down from 2010 highs as
the economy grew at a slower rate
• Renewed optimistic growth expectations should
result in increased M&A and IPO activity over the
near term
• That said, exits by Indian technology companies
have historically not been as successful
compared to exits by their US counterparts
• For Indian technology companies acquired between 2010 and June 2013, the median EV/LTM Revenue
multiple is 1.3x; a comparable analysis done for US based targets yields a multiple of 2.8x
• The same analysis was run for Indian and US technology IPOs from 2010 to June 2013; Indian
companies trade at a median EV/LTM Revenue multiple of 2.5x while US companies trade at a median
multiple of 4.0x

Indian Companies Often Trade at a Discount to US Companies
• As the graph on the previous page shows, Indian companies that experience a liquidity event typically
trade at a 30%-50% discount to their US peers
• Although there may be many factors influencing the discounted valuation (e.g. Country-specific macro
considerations), additional analysis on what types of companies are experiencing liquidity events
shows that a significantly higher percentage of Indian companies are service-focused, while US
companies tend towards a product focus
• Product companies tend to trade better than service companies due to their ability to scale more
quickly and efficiently; they also typically have IP which creates a competitive barrier and enhances
value
• Between 2010 and June 2013, 42% of Indian technology companies that participated in a liquidity event
were service focused as opposed to only 20% of US technology companies
