Overview
Private equity leaders are navigating one of the most challenging investment climates in recent years. High interest rates, tightening capital and cautious LP sentiment are putting ROI under pressure. Competition for quality assets is intense, yet fragmented technology, stalled innovation programs and escalating costs often slow post-deal value creation. Many portfolio companies struggle to operationalize GenAI, modernize their operations or scale efficiently, which delays the returns that PE funds expect.
At HCLTech, we understand these headwinds because we work with many portfolio companies owned by leading PE funds worldwide. We help funds and their investments accelerate value creation, improve EBITDA and strengthen operational resilience, whether you’re integrating new acquisitions, modernizing legacy systems or preparing assets for a strategic exit.
