#IntelCapital Sees #India Deal Recovery #KHUSHITAVASANT @WSJ @resilient_ent #VentureCapital

Capital, the venture capital arm of chip maker Intel Corp., expects the investment climate in India to improve and deal activity to pick up in the second half of 2012, a senior executive said.
The comments from Sudheer Kuppam, Asia Pacific managing director for Intel Capital, come at a time when venture capital and private-equity transactions in India have sputtered as a weakening rupee, slowing growth and unwelcome tax moves have driven foreign investors away from local stocks.

"It's a very difficult market this year. Everything has dried up in terms of transactional volume," Mr. Kuppam said in a recent interview.

The firm has noticed hesitancy from other venture capital investors for syndicated investments. In syndication, a group of venture capitalists each put in a portion of money required to finance a business.

"We don't know when this is going to turn around. We do expect that the second half should be much better, the necessary momentum will come back into the marketplace," Mr. Kuppam said.

Mr. Kuppam said India, along with China, is among the top emerging growth markets as disposable incomes of the middle-class population grows.
