TPG is identified as a global investment firm focused on private equity, real estate, healthcare, technology, consumer and financial services, while WHL is noted as belonging to the Brookfield Group, an alternative investment manager. The description states that UPL Two currently has no business operations in India and is intended to hold both the India and global crop protection businesses following completion of the transaction.
