Private equity funds generally invest in equity shares of unlisted companies. Few PE funds also invest in listed companies through PIPE deals (private investment in public equity). PE funds generally look for companies that are in the high growth sectors.
Some of the major PE funds in India are
ICICI Ventures - India's largest PE fund
