While relationships and the local wisdom is regarded as crucial for value creation in the private equity business, businesses regularly seek to grow geographically as their funds and resources increase.

It attempts to answer this question by focusing on how Abraaj creates value, by what means the company distinguishes itself from local and international adversaries, and how local-global dynamics manifests itself through the various periods of the firm's business.
