How to build a list of private equity firms that have an office in India

Search by Investor Office Location (Not Just HQ)

Most M&A databases only list a PE firm's headquarters. Mergr captures every office a firm operates from — and every one is searchable.

That means you can find investors with local presence in a specific city or country, even when that location isn't their primary HQ. Useful for cross-border deals, identifying regional partners, or building a buyer list where boots-on-the-ground matters.

Example: Washington DC-based The Carlyle Group operates from 20+ offices worldwide. A standard HQ-only search for India-based investors would miss Carlyle entirely — even though they have a substantial Mumbai team.

Search Example

Investors with a Secondary Office in India

Step 1

Navigate to the Private Equity Search page.

Step 2

In the Investor Criteria section, open the Country dropdown and choose India.

Step 3

By default, location filters look at the investor's Main / HQ Office only. You can change this to widen or narrow the search:

  • Main Office only (default) — investors headquartered in India

  • All Offices — any investor with at least one office in India, HQ or otherwise

  • Secondary Offices — excludes HQ matches; returns investors based elsewhere but with an India office

In this case, select Secondary Offices (exclude Main Office).

Step 4

Select Search.

Results

Your result set will list all Investors that have a secondary office located in India.


When to use this

  • Cross-border deals — find PE firms with local execution capacity in a target country

  • Regional sourcing — identify investors active in a market beyond their HQ city

  • Co-investor mapping — surface firms with presence in a region that aren't obviously based there

  • BD targeting — prospect investors whose nearest office is one you can actually visit
