Shishir Baijal, CMD, Knight Frank India said, “Private equity investors have taken advantage of this period of economic slowdown to scout for Grade A assets with strong growth trends for investments. As a result of which, assets in the office segment saw positive investment activities. The average deal size for office investments was also seen to be remarkably higher in YTD 2020 as compared to full year 2019.’’
