PE Readiness Assessment India
Indian PE funds are deploying over ₹2 lakh crore annually. This assessment tells you whether your business is in the investable zone — and the specific gaps to close before approaching PE investors.
What this assessment measures
Evaluates EBITDA scale and sustainability, revenue growth trajectory, management team quality and depth, governance and financial records, business transferability (PE funds need to exit), and exit horizon alignment.
Why it matters
PE funds have a specific investment thesis — growth + governance + exit potential. Businesses that tick all three are rare. This assessment identifies which of the three is your primary gap.
The 6 dimensions we assess
- 1.EBITDA scale — minimum ₹3–5Cr EBITDA for most PE fund mandates
- 2.Growth trajectory — revenue growth rate and forward growth evidence
- 3.Management team — professional management capable of operating post-investment
- 4.Governance quality — financial records, board structure, compliance status
- 5.Business model — recurring revenue, customer retention, scalability
- 6.Exit potential — PE needs a visible exit path within 4–7 years
