Gaurav Deepak to speak on’Financing OOH Business’ at OAC 2015

The Indian OOH industry is at an inflexion point. Rapid expansion of physical infrastructure across the country — in particular transit infrastructure, a growing segment of on-the-go professionals who spend increasing time out of home, adoption of interactive technologies, and the like are creating new growth avenues for OOH business. To leverage the emerging opportunities, many of the OOH firms will need to scale up their operations. The moot questions re, do they have the financial wherewithal to tap into new markets, and what are the financing options available to them, such as equity financing by private equity, venture capital and angel investors.

Gaurav Deepak, Managing Director, Avendus will cover these areas while speaking on the theme of’Financing OOH Business’ at the Outdoor Advertising Convention (OAC) which will be held at the Renaissance Mumbai Convention Centre Hotel during July 24-25.
