Why LP Secondaries Are the Missing Piece in India’s VC Ecosystem

India’s venture capital landscape is booming. Startups are raising record funding, VC funds are multiplying, and innovation is thriving. Yet, beneath the surface lies a critical friction point that limits capital flow: Limited Partners (LPs) lack liquidity.

❌ The Problem:

Once LPs commit capital to a VC fund, they’re typically locked in for 8–10 years. That’s a long wait in a world where markets shift fast and priorities evolve.

✅ The Opportunity:

Enter LP Secondaries — a transparent, win-win mechanism that allows existing LPs to exit early and new investors to gain access to mature VC funds.

• Sellers unlock capital earlier, de-risk portfolios, or reallocate.
• Buyers step into high-performing funds in later stages, often at a discount.
• VC Funds benefit from a more engaged, stable LP base.

🧠 Why It Matters Now:

As Indian startups mature and funds scale, the secondaries market will play a crucial role in increasing LP confidence and deepening capital pools for VCs.
