Accel Partners has dropped plans to raise $400 million India-focused fund, Times of India reports. The plan was scrapped because of market turmoil and growing competition among private equity investors in the country. Fund managers from firms including DE Shaw and Goldman Sachs Group were appointed to lead the India growth fund. The proposed India fund would have invested about $50 million in growth businesses in contrast to venture investing that is generally below $10 million.
