Discovery of India

Discovery of India by Warburg Pincus
Private equity investor Warburg, which invested nearly $300 million in Bharti between 1999 and 2001, walked away with a profit of $800 million from selling two-thirds of its holdings. At Bharti's current share prices, Warburg's remaining 6% stake in the company is worth some $700 million, or more than twice what it originally invested.
Warburg is the largest private equity investor in India by far, having ploughed $811 million into the country as of mid-2005.  This amount is more than twice the $362 million Warburg has invested in China, according to data provided by the National Venture Capital Association in Arlington, Va.

As for that vaunted Indian bureaucracy, Warburg repatriated its profits in 48 hours.
