REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The global economy is expected to remain under pressure due to
geopolitical uncertainties from the past year. This trend may affect India as well.
However, there are several positive indicators that will help India's economic prospects
in FY2025. The private sector has improved its balance sheet, indicating potential for
increased spending and capital expenditures. Banks have also benefited from corporate
deleveraging, improving their balance sheets and helping them emerge from the asset
quality cycle. Additionally, high GST and direct tax collections have given the government
resources to spend and support the economy during the global slowdown. Consumer demand
among the affluent remains strong, as evidenced by growth in the retail industry and the
profit performance of consumer staples and discretionary companies
Indian PE-VC remained the Asia-Pacific's second-largest destination for
VC and growth funding. The investors will likely remain bullish, as the markets
demonstrated macroeconomic fundamentals, fiscal and monetary discipline, latent talent
pools, and ever-expanding digital backbone presents attractive prospects for venture
building
At IIML, the team continues to focus on divesting its current portfolio
and return money to its investors. The developments at the Infrastructure Leasing &

and its brand equity. These developments have significantly impinged on IIML's business
plans for revenue growth. The newly constituted IL&FS Board has again initiated the
process to sell its holding in IIML. The process is underway
