The Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association (IVCA) organized DII & Exit Forum in Delhi and the theme was to discuss about current challenges in the VCs, Family Office and Funding trends.
Rakesh Sidana written his views on Linkedin saying “LIQUIDITY “unlocking” – The theme of 2026!!
Exits via IPOs setting records for $20 billion and the rise of secondary markets, you can expect New AIF Funds as 82% Global Investments are favorable to India.
1. Out of 9030 global familyOffices, most are investing directly into startups and innovations and their expected AUM is $5.4 trillion by 2030.
2. Popularity of Venture Studio to co-build along with serial founders and operator VCs.
3. Total 1731 AIF Funds in India, valuing $13.49 trillion but their funding rounds are not fully completed yet, not ready to deploy the funds.
4. Estimated $86B dry-powder (Undeployed Capital), which means LPs have committed, but VC is keeping it for follow-up rounds or couldn’t find relevant thesis startups.
5. In India, $8.3 billion (74580 Crore) of unclaimed money is in the banks.
The huge amount of money is “locked” uninvested, unclaimed, and next year 2026 has to be focused on liquidity, not only in India, across the globe.
Let’s unlock the next year 🙂 Liquidity!!
You can expect:
– Easy Compliance.
– Fast M&A deals.
– Government Funds-of-Funds.
– Focus on Re-Invest.
Season’s Greetings!! Best Wishes!
