As the world started putting COVID-19 pandemic behind it, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has created uncertainty. This along with China’s slowdown is causing imbalance in demand and supply, resulting in inflation pressures. Despite this, India Inc witnessed 190 deals aggregating to USD 19.1 billion in May 2022.

“Regardless of whether it is a capital-intensive industry or not, including energy and industrials, the market seems to be poised for delayed growth. Inflation pressures are being felt throughout the world,” said Shanthi Vijetha, Partner, Growth, Grant Thornton Bharat.
