SoftBank plans to invest up to $10 Bn in Indian startups in 2022; eyes fintech & ed-tech segments
软银2022年或向印度初创企业投资50至100亿美元
Masayoshi Son-led SoftBank Group would like to invest $5 Bn – $10 Bn in India, SoftBank Investment Advisers chief executive Rajeev Misra said on Thursday during Bloomberg’s 6th edition of the “India Economic Forum 2021”. The Japanese investment giant, through its Vision funds, has led investments in the Indian startup ecosystem for over 10 years — its first investment was infusing $200 Mn in InMobi.
SoftBank Investment Advisers首席执行官Rajeev Misra表示,如果软银看到印度初创公司的估值有吸引力,在2022年可能投资50至100亿美元。
“如果找到合适的公司,我们可能在2022年投资50到100亿美元,”Mishra在2021彭博印度经济论坛上说。“如果我们在合适的估值找到合适的机会。”
到目前为止,在印度的投资还没有让这家日本巨头失望,其印度初创企业投资组合的估值大幅增长。Misra周四表示,印度的科技生态正在起飞,软银的耐心将得到回报。“现在是印度时代。”
