Harish Parameswar, Managing Director of financial advisory and asset management firm Lazard Asia, echoes, “I would say you’ve seen a lot of private equity and buy-out firms come up in India but venture capital is relatively tough if you’re at an early stage, unless you have some Indian investors who are from (Silicon) Valley. It’s relatively difficult to get early stage financing.” But early stage Venture Capital activity, on a lull since Y2K, has slowly begun trickling back. According to a data provided by Venture Intelligence, the value of early stage deals skyrocketed to $510 million in 2006, from a mere $103 million. In H1 2007, the total number of deals in early stage was 44 and amounted to an impressive $274 million.
