Venture capital is a relatively new area within the financial markets of developing countries. While there is no standard definition of the concept, one school of thought considers it an early-stage development or start-up financing measure for new companies which are making efforts to growrapidly, while the other identifies it almost exclusively with the financing of ventures based on advanced technologies.There is no comprehensive book available on this subject in India. Venture Capital and the Indian Financial Sector fills this gap. It will be of interest to students and professionals in the banking and financial sectors, as well as government and industry policy-makers.
