TPG, the U.S. alternative-investment firm that oversees more than $74 billion, sees opportunities in health care and microlending in Asia to meet untapped demand in some of the world’s fastest-growing economies.

The region is short of quality health-care infrastructure, Jim Coulter, TPG’s co-founder and co-chief executive officer, told a Bloomberg private equity forum Friday in Mumbai. In India, industries are undergoing a lot of change, and private equity has a "massive role” to play in working through that, Coulter said.
