2008: Top VC Firms in India [in terms of activity]

Sequoia tops the chart, followed by DFJ and NEA-IUV.

• Sequoia struck a total of 11 deals in the year, investing around $60 million,
• DFJ India made eight investments worth $32 million,
• NEA-Indo US funded 7 deals with $23 million (source)

Well, one of a clear indication (the good news) is that VC firms are investing in sectors beyond Internet and Mobile; and we do hope that the much needed development in infrastructure, education etc sectors does receive VC money.

What’s your opinion on investment strategy of these firms?
