India Business Law Journal Names Gunderson Dettmer a Key Player for India-related Work

Gunderson Dettmer continues to be ranked a Key Player for India-related work by the India Business Law Journal (IBLJ). This is the fourth year that Gunderson Dettmer has been ranked a top foreign firm for India-related work by IBLJ.

In the 2024 report, India Business Law Journal states that “Gunderson Dettmer is consistently at the forefront of venture capital activity thanks to its exclusive focus on the innovation economy.”

Noteworthy transactions highlighted by IBLJ included:

• Representing Lightspeed Venture Partners as an investor on the $340 million series E financing of India-based unicorn Udaan;
• Representing Goodwater as an investor in the $200 million series E financing of Indian grocery delivery startup Zepto; and
• Representing Prosus Ventures on the $46 million series C financing of Vegrow, an Indian B2B marketplace for fruits.

One of Gunderson’s clients praised the firm, saying, “We would rank them the highest, as compared to other international firms we have seen acting on India-related matters.” Singapore Managing Partner Jonathan Pentzien was commended for “his grasp, clarity of thoughts and ability to achieve a win-win for all parties involved.”

In June 2024, Singapore Managing Partner Jonathan Pentzien and Partner David He were named to IBLJ’s International A-List as top international lawyers for India-related deals.
