Delivering value and performance for private equity across multi strategy platforms

      A growing part of the global private capital market, private equity encapsulates a world managing multiple strategies across borders and asset classes, as firms navigate sophisticated investment businesses alongside their portfolios. As competition for differentiated assets intensifies, the traditional private equity playbook is under pressure to both deliver value and keep pace with how diversifying funds operate and grow.

      At KPMG, we work with private equity firms and portfolio companies to do just that across the full investment cycle. From front to back office, we help funds manage the realities of scaling multi-strategy platforms, including governance, reporting, technology, and data support that underpin operations and enhance decision-making. At the same time, we bring AI-enabled insight to drive diligence and readiness for future-ready portfolio companies. Our global private equity network unites professionals from KPMG firms around the world to deliver coordinated and multidisciplinary approaches, helping funds execute diverse strategies while making a difference to the performance of their portfolio companies.

      The PE landscape in India is entering an important phase. Investors are showing a clear shift toward majority ownership in mature, cash generative platforms, moving away from smaller minority positions in high growth but higher variance companies. A healthier IPO environment and more active secondary markets are supporting this shift by improving exit visibility and allowing capital to be recycled more confidently.

      Readiness is starting much earlier: Companies are beginning IPO preparation well ahead of the filing stage, focusing on building predictable performance, investor quality metrics and clarity of long-term value.

      Structure matters as much as strategy: Leaders stressed the importance of getting corporate and ownership structures right, especially for groups with multiple entities. Future-proof ESOP design is now seen as essential for retaining talent post listing.
