Global private equity firms in the Race for a $3 Billion Deal - Gland Pharma

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Thursday, February 13, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. Amid India-China geopolitical tensions, China's Fosun Pharmaceutical is in discussions with three global private equity firms to sell its majority stake in the Hyderabad-based Gland Pharma. Fosun currently owns about 51% of Gland Pharma, after initially acquiring a 74% stake for $1.2 billion. They have hired investment banks Morgan Stanley and UBS to assist with the sale. Global private equity firms Blackstone, Brookfield, and Warburg Pincus are interested in buying this stake, valuing the company at nearly $3 billion. Gland Pharma, founded in 1978, specializes in making generic injectable medicines and serves nearly 90 countries, focusing on India and the U.S. markets. In the December quarter, the company reported revenues of ₹1,384 crore and a profit after tax of ₹204.7 crore.The potential sale is expected to trigger an open offer to Gland Pharma's shareholders, with the buyers aiming to own between 60-65% of the company after the transaction. In a major step toward strengthening digital payment security, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed additional factor authentication (AFA) for international card-not-present (CNP) transactions. This means Indian consumers will have an extra layer of security when making payments to foreign merchants—just like they already do for domestic transactions.Now you may wonder what prompted this move by the RBI?It's primarily due to Rising Fraud Cases in international transactions involving unauthorized charges on foreign websites with minimal authentication. Now adding AFA will ensure stronger security standards that safeguard Indian cardholders against such risks.   US-based industrial and aerospace giant Honeywell and Greenko founders-led AM Green signed an agreement on Wednesday to collaborate on manufacturing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in India from biofuels, including ethanol, methanol, and green hydrogen. Under this agreement, Honeywell's cutting-edge technology will be leveraged to produce SAF from renewable sources, aligning with global efforts to transition toward greener energy solutions. AM Green, a company backed by the founders of renewable energy giant Greenko, will focus on production and scaling operations in India, catering to both domestic and international markets.The companies will assess the feasibility of making SAF in India to reduce the country's oil import dependence, helping shipping companies adopt the low-emission fuel, and aiding aviation companies to meet International Civil Aviation Organisation guidelines for low-carbon fuel replacements. The global aviation industry is under increasing pressure to cut carbon emissions, and SAF has emerged as a key solution. This partnership strengthens India's role in the green energy revolution, supporting global decarbonization goals while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Over two dozen Indian startups are expected to go public in the coming months, including big names like Groww, Lenskart, and Zepto, which could see billion-dollar IPOs. Smaller companies like Ather Energy, BoAt, Bluestone, Infra.market, PhysicsWallah, PayU, and Pine Labs are also gearing up for their stock market debuts. This is a jump from last year when only 13 startups, including Swiggy, Ola Electric, and FirstCry, went public. However, market conditions are getting tougher. Investment bankers say startups might need to adjust their IPO sizes and valuations due to recent global economic shifts. The US stock market has been hit hard after President Donald Trump announced new tariffs, leading to uncertainty in global equity markets. India's Nifty 50 index is down 12.5% from its peak last September, with foreign investors selling off shares. Amid tough market conditions and lock-in expiries those looking to invest in upcoming IPOs could also be staring at losses in the short term      At the Maha Kumbh Mela, India's largest spiritual gathering, several startups are seizing the opportunity to engage with the vast influx of pilgrims. Zomato-owned Blinkit has set up a temporary store offering ritual-related items and other essentials. Swiggy's Instamart has established a stall near the Triveni Sangam to serve attendees. PhonePe, in collaboration with ICICI Lombard General Insurance, is providing affordable travel insurance plans tailored for Kumbh visitors. Chai Point has deployed around 175 personnel and 18-20 mini stations, utilizing brewing bots capable of producing 15 liters of tea every 12 minutes, resulting in daily sales of approximately 160,000 cups reports Peiyamvada C. Now these initiatives not only cater to the immediate needs of pilgrims but also serve as strategic moves for brand visibility and customer acquisition. By adjusting pricing and packaging, these startups aim to connect with a broader audience beyond their typical urban clientele, gathering valuable insights for future expansions.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Friday, January 31, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. India's affluent are reviving their investment in IPOs, evident from the significant funds they've poured into the market in 2024. High-net-worth individuals (HNIs), with assets over ₹5 crore, have shown a notable increase in IPO subscriptions, reaching a three-year high. The bullish sentiment among these investors is fueled by the substantial listing gains observed post-pandemic, enhancing their risk appetite, Dipti Sharma writes. This trend aligns with a broader surge in equity investments, reflecting heightened investor confidence and a robust appetite for high-risk, high-reward opportunities. The resurgence in IPO investments among India's wealthy is part of a broader narrative of rising affluence and entrepreneurship within the country, contributing to its dynamic economic landscape. DeepSeek, a Chinese AI lab, made headlines by developing its R1 model using less costly hardware and a fraction of the budget traditionally used by heavyweights like OpenAI and Google. This model, built for under $6 million, demonstrates that advanced AI can be achieved without immense financial outlay or extensive infrastructure, challenging the dominance of major tech giants. The controversy surrounding DeepSeek involves allegations from OpenAI, suggesting that DeepSeek might have used data or techniques from OpenAI's models without authorization, potentially breaching intellectual property rights. This issue of data 'distillation'—where a complex model's output is used to train another model—brings up serious ethical and legal implications, especially if done without proper licensing. Leslie D'Monte explains the controversy around DeepSeek and the allegations on it.  India is stepping up its game in the global AI race, aiming to develop its own foundational AI models similar to prominent models like OpenAI's ChatGPT and DeepSeek's R1. The initiative, led by Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, focuses on creating AI solutions that reflect India's linguistic and cultural diversity, promising more affordable and quicker development than current global standards. To facilitate this ambitious project, the government plans to launch a common compute facility equipped with 18,693 GPUs supplied by major domestic companies, Gulveen Aulakh reports. This facility will be accessible to startups, researchers, and developers through an online portal, ensuring broad participation and fostering innovation at various levels. This move is strategically positioned not just to foster technological advancement but also to accommodate geopolitical and economic considerations.The Good Glamm Group, previously welcomed into the unicorn club in 2021, is now facing significant financial distress as it prepares for a crucial restructuring. Expected to drastically lower its valuation, this restructuring is similar to Pharmeasy's experience in 2020 and involves raising new capital, likely at terms unfavourable to current shareholders. With existing investors like Prosus and Warburg Pincus unlikely to participate, this move could result in their stakes being wiped out completely from the company's cap table, Ranjani Raghavan writes. Amid this turmoil, three investor directors from prominent venture firms resigned last year, indicating deeper concerns about the firm's direction and the potential impacts on their reputations and other investments.  As Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman finalizes her speech for the upcoming budget presentation on February 1, concerns linger over India's economic trajectory despite its status as the world's fastest-growing large economy post-covid. After an impressive average growth of over 8% for three years, India's GDP growth slowed to 5.4% in Q2 of FY 2024-25. This deceleration, according to Sitharaman, is temporary, with expectations of recovery in upcoming quarters, although advance indicators and the RBI's revised forecast suggest a growth of just 6.6% for the year. The Modi government's strategy has focused on public capex to stimulate growth and attract private investment, avoiding direct fiscal stimuli to prevent inflation and fiscal issues experienced post-2008 financial crisis. Yet, private investment remains sluggish, and there's debate over whether India should adjust its economic strategy. The upcoming budget may include a modest stimulus to boost consumer spending while continuing with fiscal consolidation, targeting a fiscal deficit of 4.5% by FY 2025-26. So, will the finance minister deliver a fiscal bazooka on Feb 1? N Madhavan tackles that question in today's Long Story.

Why is research and development key in electronics?

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Wednesday, December 18, 2024. This is Nelson John, let's get started. The Indian government has unveiled a 3 billion dollar incentives plan to stimulate the creation of electronics brands and enhance private research & development spending in the sector. The initiative is aimed at attracting investments and generating business worth over 15 billion dollars. The goal is to shift from merely assembling devices, which leaves most profits with foreign firms, to manufacturing core components domestically and owning patents for commercially sold devices. Historically, local brands such as Onida, Karbonn, Lava, and Micromax have struggled against international competition due to a lack of innovation. Shouvik Das explains how investing in R&D could revitalise Indian consumer electronics brands by fostering homegrown innovation and enabling them to compete globally. Aditya Birla Group and Adani Group, which were initially interested in acquiring Akzo Nobel NV's Indian paint operations, did not finalize their discussions, leading to a shift in potential bidders. Now, Indigo and JSW are negotiating – p otentially with private equity investors such as Warburg Pincus, TPG, Carlyle, and CVC – for a bid valued between 2.1 and 2.5 billion dollars. If completed, it could be the largest in India's paint industry, in which Akzo Nobel, which owns brands such as Dulux and Sikkens, holds a 5-6% market share. The decorative business, comprising two-thirds of Akzo Nobel's valuation, is a key attraction, Anirudh Laskar and Sneha Shah report. Pidilite Industries has proposed a share swap deal, while others suggest an all-cash transaction.JSW Group, Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners and Waaree Energies have placed their binding offers for Enel Group's renewable venture in India, eyeing a deal that may value the company's equity between 350 and 400 million dollars. Tack on the debt and we're talking of a total enterprise value north of 500 to 550 million dollars. The assets in play include 760 megawatts of wind and solar installations that are already up and running, plus a promising pipeline of projects that could add another 2 gigawatts. Enel Green Power India has been on the block since last year, and with these bids in, a deal could be wrapped up by the end of the fiscal year, insiders told Sneha Shah. The Election Commission of India looks set to retain its power to postpone assembly polls, even as India shifts towards a 'one nation, one election' system. This power is enshrined in the proposed Constitutional amendment introduced in the Lok Sabha, Manas Pimplakhare reports. The amendment aims for simultaneous elections across all levels of government but allows the ECI to seek deferrals from the President under special circumstances, a change from the current rules, under which the governor decides. The move to synchronize elections is aimed at improving financial efficiencies and reducing policy paralysis. However, if the Lok Sabha or state assemblies are dissolved prematurely, the incoming government will serve only the remainder of the term, maintaining a fixed election cycle every five years. Critics doubt the bill will pass soon, as the current government lacks the majority needed to push the amendment through.The Hindi version of Allu Arjun's Pushpa: The Rule-Part 2 has been a blockbuster hit, crossing the 500 crore rupee mark and giving single-screen cinemas in north India a much-needed boost. However, cinema owners are worried. After the Pushpa 2 wave, there's no big commercial hit in sight for a while, and sustaining their businesses looks tough. They are pinning their hopes on Salman Khan's Sikandar, which is set to release on the Eid weekend in March. Cinema owners Lata Jha spoke to called 2024 one of the worst years for these businesses, especially those in small towns. Themes such as nationalism aren't pulling in crowds like they were before, and movies that resonate with the common man, such as Pushpa 2, are rare. With Bollywood not churning out many mass-market hits, and the popularity of OTT platforms growing, the future looks challenging for single screens.

I have the best job in the world. That is, it's the best job for someone like me, who really likes talking to people and finding out what they are doing and thinking – but also as a bi-product finding out what they are really like. The reason I am saying this is because today's episode was so much fun to make that it didn't feel like a standard day at the office. I have had Warren Downey (left) and Lee Anderson (right) of London-headquartered intermediary Specialist Risk Group (SRG) on the show before and really enjoyed their company, good humour and the openness and ease with which could discuss their strategy and business philosophy, but the interview you are about to hear is exceptional. This is because rarely do I interview two senior executives who finish each other's sentences so regularly and enjoy each other's company so much. The trigger for our podcast was a change of investors that has brought Blue Chip players Warburg Pincus and Temasek into the fold at a reported valuation of over £1 billion pounds, so perhaps that is why the conversation was so animated. Whatever the reason, what follows is a very enjoyable romp outlining the strategy and culture of an incredibly successful broking duo. What is SRG going to do with its new investment? The answers are all in here. And that's because of the two people in the room with me. A minute ago I said I have the best job in the world for me – and it seems obvious to me that these two would say exactly the same about their jobs. NOTES: Warren is the first to speak.

Brave Dynamics: Authentic Leadership Reflections

Jason Edwards, CEO & Founder of Alternatives.pe, and Jeremy Au talked about three main themes: 1. Lawyer to Founder & VC: Jason recounted his legal career at Baker & McKenzie in Australia and Hong Kong. Due to the Asian Financial Crisis, he focused on financial restructuring for distressed firms (many of whom had borrowed heavily in US dollars) across Bangkok, Singapore and Asia. He later moved into private equity with Clearwater Capital Partners ($1.2B AUM) and venture capital by co-founding Qualgro VC. He later founded alternatives.pe - an accurate data and insights platform for private capital market professionals looking for best-in-class coverage across Southeast Asia and Australia. The platform is now used by the majority of Asian funds including Square Peg, 500, Temasek, Sequoia, Tiger Global, Warburg Pincus, KKR, Vertex, GIC and Softbank. 2. Alternatives.pe Regional Capital Insights: Jason discussed the current shift of VC attention from consumer-focused (B2C) to business-focused (B2B) models, due to a faster route to profitability across diverse linguistic and cultural markets. He observed strengthening investment discipline focused on capital efficiency and strategic scalability.  Jason also elaborated on the complex dynamics of negotiation and asset recovery in the region. He pointed out that Asian businesses usually hold most of their value intrinsically, which complicates asset recovery efforts when entrepreneurs have been at the helm for extensive periods, sometimes spanning decades or generations. He emphasized that a successful recovery strategy involves not just enforcing rights as per the norm in Western jurisdictions, but also cooperating with the original business operators to maximize value extraction. This nuanced approach highlights the importance of balancing 'stick' enforcement strategies with engagement and collaboration, underscoring that aggressive takeover tactics are seldom the best route to preserving or enhancing a business's value in Asia. 3. January Capital Venture Debt Strategy: Jason explained the rationale and timing for launching January Capital's venture debt services to fill the regional market gap. He detailed the methodical structure of their venture debt deals, typically around $15 million, targeted at growth-stage companies that find traditional venture capital or equity financing too dilutive or misaligned with their financial strategies. He elaborated on how this approach is particularly opportune given the current high-interest rate environment and lower valuations, which would allow venture debt to provide capital without excessive equity sacrifices. Jeremy and Jason also talked about his personal experience of the Asian Financial Crisis and ensuing layoffs, the importance of accurate and timely data for VC dealmaking, and personal reflections on entrepreneurial risk-taking.

In this episode, we talk with Dennis Watson and Cliff Reid, two entrepreneurs in the cancer space. They speak about the difference between genetics and genomics, and the role of genetic and genomic testing in clinical decision-making. They also touch on the history and impact of DNA sequencing and the challenges in applying genomics to cancer treatment. This conversation explores the development of Travera, a company advancing personalized cancer treatments. Dennis and Cliff share their hopes for the future of oncology, including the expansion of diagnostic tools and the increasing involvement of patients in their own care. Key Highlights: The field of DNA sequencing has evolved over the years, but the application of genomics in cancer treatment still faces challenges in achieving widespread success.  Sales and commercial teams play a crucial role in educating clinicians about new innovations in personalized oncology, and oftentimes scientific/product innovations take a while to actually become a part of a clinician's practice.  The future of personalized oncology involves the development of multiple techniques for selecting the right drug for the right patient at the right time, as well as increased patient involvement in their own care. About our guests: Dennis Watson joined Travera in July of 2022 as the Vice President of Business Development. He brings 15+ years of extensive sales and management experience in the oncology molecular diagnostic space. Dennis spent nearly 10 years with Agendia, beginning as a field-based sales professional, working his way up to gain experience in multiple facets of the business, receiving top-tier awards and recognition throughout his tenure. He served 4 years as a Regional Director in the Central US, before moving on to lead the US commercial sales organization in January of 2018. Prior to his work with Agendia, Dennis spent 5 years with the Oncology division of Myriad Genetics. Before Myriad Genetics, he also held positions in the pharmaceutical, industrial services, and web services industries. Clifford Reid was the founding CEO of Travera. Previously, Dr. Reid was the founding Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Complete Genomics (NASDAQ: GNOM), a leading developer of whole human genome DNA sequencing technologies and services. Prior to Complete Genomics, he founded two enterprise software companies: Eloquent (NASDAQ: ELOQ), an internet video company, and Verity (NASDAQ: VRTY), an enterprise search engine company.

Creating a successful food line requires a lot of planning and preparation. You need to think about what you will sell, how you will market your products, and how you will get customers to buy them. Here's how Rosa Li did it! Rosa Li was a private equity and venture investor at Warburg Pincus and is now a successful food line entrepreneur. Rosa's entrepreneurial journey also led her to ABC's reality TV show Shark Tank and secured a partnership with the co-founder and CEO of DoorDash, Tony Xu. Founder Rosa Li started Wildwonder in 2020 to reimagine the healing drinks of her heritage. As a child, Rosa Li was inspired by her grandma's herbal tonics to make a delicious Wildwonder beverage that combines heritage-inspired herbal knowledge with gut-healing elements. Wildwonder is the first drink to combine probiotics (beneficial gut microbes) and prebiotic plant fiber (the food that probiotics need to thrive).

Eric is the CEO and Board Chairman of CoinLion (https://www.coinlion.com/), a cryptocurrency auto trading platform that makes it super simple for anyone to invest in crypto. They have executed 530K+ trades worth $1B+ and made investors $4M+ in profit to date. Many people are interested in investing in cryptocurrencies, but they're afraid to do so because they don't fully understand the complex crypto market, or where to even begin. By allowing users to sign up to their platform, which automatically trades cryptocurrencies for them 24/7/365, CoinLion offers a solution to this problem. The platform allows users to copy expert traders' strategies with a click of a button. Whatever the expert trades, the follower will also trade. This gives users the advantage of trading, versus simply holding crypto, which allows users to get in and out of the market at the right times. Eric is passionate about building outstanding teams that develop great products that are centered on the needs and wants of customers. He spent 19 years as the Founder and CEO of the urgent care software company DocuTAP (now Experity) before joining CoinLion. Eric (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericatdocutap/) led the business through explosive growth, multiple fundraising rounds (including with Warburg Pincus and Bessemer Venture Partners), several acquisitions, and a successful merger with its biggest competitor. That combined company was acquired again for $1B+ in 2019. Beyond CoinLion, Eric also sits on the boards of a few other innovative tech businesses, including Phraze.AI, Journey Tellr, and SideCar. To get a sense of Eric, here's an episode he did on the Focus605 Podcast (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2f2kj4A2HAL9VH2yUgXkRy), where they talked about how those with no prior experience trading cryptocurrencies can do so profitably in real time. *DISCLAIMER - We are not giving any financial advice.

BIO: Arjun Murti has over 30 years of experience as an equity research analyst, senior advisor, and board member, with global expertise covering traditional oil & gas and new energy technologies.STORY: Arjun made a call that oil prices would quintuple from $20 a barrel in the 90s to $105 in the 2000s and stay there for at least five years. The price averaged $100 a barrel from 2000 to 2014, entirely consistent with Arjun's call. However, after the 2008 financial crisis, the return on capital in the energy sector started falling. Arjun made excuses and continued to ride the wave all the way down.LEARNING: Let go of your ego and get out of the battle at some point. Frameworks need to grow, evolve and adjust to circumstances. Understand and inculcate reversion to the mean into your thinking. “At some point, you got to get out of your own ego and get out of the battle.”Arjun Murti Guest profileArjun Murti has over 30 years of experience as an equity research analyst, senior advisor, and board member, with global experience covering traditional oil & gas and new energy technologies.The bulk of his Wall Street career was at Goldman Sachs, where he retired as a partner in 2014. He recently “un-retired” to join Veriten, an energy research, strategy, and investing firm. Arjun publishes Super-Spiked, a Substack blog focused on the messy energy transition era.He is on the board of ConocoPhillips, a senior advisor at Warburg Pincus, and on the advisory boards for ClearPath and the Center on Global Energy Policy.Worst investment everAt the height of his career, Arjun made a call that oil was going to go from the $15 to $20 a barrel range it had been in from the mid-80s. He said the price would rise to between $50 to $105 in the 2000s and stay there for at least five years. And with that, the returns on capital and profitability in energy as a sector would do very well. Arjun called this the super spike.In 2002, the market started becoming bullish, and oil went from the 20-dollar range everyone thought the sector would be at forever to ultimately as high as $147 in 2008. The price averaged $100 a barrel from 2000 to 2014, entirely consistent with the high end of the range of Arjun's original call. He was pretty excited about the sector's profitability and experienced an ego boost after being proven right for five years.However, the returns on capital started rolling over, and Arjun made excuses for it. From 2006 to 2008, oil went from $65 to $100 a barrel, but returns on capital for the sector fell from 22% to 19%. 19% is still an excellent number, and that's the excuse Arjun used to continue riding the call. The sector then got interrupted by the great financial crisis of 2008, which Arjun never viewed as an energy event. The industry rebounded dramatically off those 2008 and 2009 lows, but the returns on capital had now fallen to 16%. Arjun kept making excuses as the returns continued to fall and never got off. Making excuses for his framework the entire way down became his worst investment mistake ever.Lessons learnedAt some point, you've to get let go of your ego and get out of the battle.Frameworks need to grow, evolve and adjust to circumstances.Andrew's takeawaysUnderstand and inculcate reversion to the mean into your thinking.Understand what the average is.

This past year has reminded all of us that the energy transition, energy markets, and geopolitics are inextricably linked. In the last five years alone, extreme volatility in energy prices has created uncertainty for consumers and producers alike.  For Wall Street in particular, an uncertain energy outlook brings up important questions about risk and strategy. Aligning energy investment with expected demand is hard, especially in the midst of an energy transition that's happening in fits and starts. Yet, effective investment is vital for both energy access and climate progress. How should investors address the tension between energy and climate needs? What do the coming years hold for oil and gas markets? And is the term “energy transition” even the right one?  This week host Jason Bordoff talks with Arjun Murti about how Wall Street views the energy transition and how the turbulence has wracked energy markets over the past several years. Arjun shares the lessons he's learned in his years as an energy markets analyst, and how his experiences inform his view of the path ahead.  Arjun has spent more than 30 years analyzing the global energy sector on Wall Street. He spent 15 years as a partner at Goldman Sachs and recently served as senior advisor and now partner for Veriten. Has also had stints as director at ConocoPhillips and as senior advisor for Warburg Pincus. Arjun is also on the Center on Global Energy Policy's advisory board.
