There&#8217;s a buzz in Singapore as top investors descend to attend DEALSTREETASIA&#8216;s inaugural Asia PE-VC Summit.
The day-long event is set to be an unrivalled global meeting place for top investors who are discovering and funding companies in some of Asia’s fastest growing economies. And what better place to discuss it than at the luxurious Mandarin Oriental in Singapore, one of the world&#8217;s financial hubs.
Asia PE-VC Summit 2016 is brought to you by DEALSTREETASIA, the only portal in Asia to cover the entire deal ecosystem across India and Southeast Asia, and MintAsia, the Singapore edition of India’s second-largest financial daily.
We are sure that you have been reading the insightful interviews with top speakers across both publications. And that was just the trailer to the main event, which promises to be different from most other conferences.

Some of the biggest LPs, GPs and CEOs of PE and VC backed companies will be attending for exclusive exchange of ideas and top quality networking opportunities. They will not just discuss what is happening, but what is likely to happen a year down the line.
From India to Vietnam, innovative companies are changing lives. And investors are helping them scale, and be more ambitious with their goal of becoming leading companies in their segments. And yet, there is a sense of caution.
“Right now people are not as quick to commit, people are absolutely more cautious. If you ask them why they are more cautious they are not able to give you a very clear reason. They think why should they not wait, interest rates have gone up, people are more nervous. Few of my LPs said had you come in September or October, there was a fear of missing out. Now there is a fear of getting in. They don’t want to go in early,” said Deepak Shahdadpuri, Founder and Managing Director, DSG Consumer Partners, which is raising a new $35 million fund, in a chat with DEALSTREETASIA.
And yet, everyone agrees on the scale of opportunities in the region. And that has made this a great time to talk about the way forward after years of depressed equity markets that are now beginning to rise again.

The event goes beyond listening to top investors. It is also about understanding a whole new generation of companies that are disrupting the way people live. From food to fintech, investors are discovering companies unlike anything we have ever seen before. Some of them will go on to become the next Google and Microsoft, and on the way they will disrupt traditional means of doing business. In addition, governments are getting serious about the ecosystem.
“In the last 12 months, the Singapore government has really woken up and stepped up its game. So between the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s regulatory sandbox, the Infocomm Development Authority putting money into fintech startups, and several other grants being made available, there are a lot of experimentation that is going to happen. And the one thing that Singapore can do uniquely is involve the public sector. And if you get national projects to happen with public sector participation that can catapult you,” <a href="http://Read more at: http://www.dealstreetasia.com/stories/dbs-48606/" target="_blank">said Gupta</a>, in a chat with DEALSTREETASIA.
