Last chance to vote in the AVCJ Indian Awards
Voting for the 2012 AVCJ Indian Private Equity & Venture Capital Awards closes today. The region’s private equity community has until 5 p.m. (Hong Kong time) to pay tribute to the leading fundraising, investments, exits, individuals and firms of the past 12 months.
Votes are cast via the AVCJ Awards website (www.asianfn.com/voteind.asp). No more than 10 votes will be accepted from employees of a single firm. The public has a 50% say in the final result, with a judging panel of industry experts and the AVCJ Editorial Board each accounting for 25%.
Based in part on recommendations submitted by the private equity community, the AVCJ Editorial Board drew up nominee shortlists in consultation with the judging panel. This year's judges include Asia Alternatives, Capital Dynamics, Hamilton Lane, HarbourVest Partners, LGT Capital Partners, Pantheon and Squadron Capital.
The winners will be announced at an invitation-only gala dinner in Mumbai on December 6, during the AVCJ India Forum, which runs from December 6-7.
