Commenting on the data, Shanthi Vijetha, Partner, Growth, Grant Thornton Bharat said, “Amid macro-economic stress, the overall deal sentiment for 2022 is expected to continue given the support from the government on infrastructure spending, supply-side response and key fiscal measures. These measures are expected to provide support to the economy from elevated commodity prices and cap the possibility of a second-round effect of inflation. However, corporates and more importantly PE/VCs may employ a cautiously optimistic approach as the impact of the global economic slowdown on the Indian economy becomes evident.”
