KKR and India

In 2018 December, the co-chairman and co-CEO of the global private equity firm of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Co, Mr. Henry Kravis, underlined that buyout transactions and Private credit would be the core form of the operations of the company in India. He was visiting Mumbai back then and spoke about the rapidly flourishing business of KKR. He talked about how the company has all the capital they need and how much more they are in the credit business than ever before.

Kravis spoke about India as a terrific place to put capital, as well as to invest in hospitals, waste management, and infrastructure. He also said that they could invest money in any part of the world that has the right capital structure. He talked about the key USP of KKR, which is to buy a company, go on to improve its operations tremendously, hold the firm for about five to ten years, and then enjoy the profits it reaps.

According to Mr. Henry Kravis, India does need to improve on several fronts. These include improving the ease of doing business, as well as removing stringent regulatory bottlenecks. He additionally said how there is no significant bond market in India while mentioning that the absence of a long-term bond market can be a factor in limiting growth. The bond market is a key provider of capital.
