Investment Strategy
BanyanTree looks to invest in established companies in India that:
1. are growing rapidly
2. have a distinctive competitive advantage and enjoy a robust market position
3. are run by competent management teams with a hunger for growth and value creation
These companies are unable to access traditional private equity for the following reasons:
Underserved Sector : Companies that operate in sectors which are neglected by private equity financiers because they are thought to be unattractive/ difficult to understand.
Resist Dilution : Sponsors who are convinced of future growth prospects and equity value and who, therefore, resist the high levels of dilution resulting from dealing with a traditional private equity financier.
