• Domestic capital expansion: India's equity market capitalization expanded from ₹70 lakh crore to ₹400 lakh crore over the last 15 years, with domestic ownership rising from 10% to 23% and monthly mutual fund inflows reaching ₹30,000 crore.
• Valuation premium advantage: Indian subsidiaries typically trade at three to four times the valuation multiples of their foreign parent entities, driven by domestic growth and captive local capital seeking consumption-focused opportunities.
• Parent monetization benefits: MNCs are using Indian listings and offers for sale to unlock significant value for parent entities—such as Hyundai raising over ₹20,000 crore and LG raising around ₹10,000 crore—while establishing local equity currency for acquisitions and ESOPs.
• Decentralized value creation: Companies like Orkla listed their Indian units following corporate restructuring that shifted value-creation focus to local markets, providing greater autonomy, M&A flexibility, and enhanced talent recruitment.
