Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems that India has a significant presence in the investment banking and private equity sectors. Many graduates in India go directly into MBA programs and join as analysts at these firms post-MBA.

On the private equity side, all of the major funds have an India office and are fairly active in the country, despite returns that have been in the 5-10% range (in USD) even at the top quartile. Some of these funds invest out of dedicated Asia vehicles, while others invest out of a larger, global pool of capital.

However, it's important to note that India is considered one of the world's most challenging private equity markets. Factors such as high pricing, competition, over-brokering of deals, INR depreciation and inflation, and difficulties in exiting businesses contribute to this.

As for hedge funds, the context doesn't provide specific information on this topic. However, given the size and economic significance of India, it's likely that many hedge funds would have some level of exposure to this market.
