Founded in 2020, the firm is a group of Silicon Valley and India based ex-entrepreneurs and executives with operational experience and global networks investing in India’s next billion. The group focuses on impact investing, looking to help technology and health advance in India, especially serving the underprivileged communities. The four key areas of interest are healthcare, agritech, livelihood, and education-tech. The group is looking for companies in the Pre-Series A round with typical check sizes ranging from $125k-500k. The group looks at global companies.
The firm is sector-agnostic and is open to looking at any life science/healthcare startup with impactful technology, but it should have either a soft or hard-tech core component. The group is open to all stages and indications, however the firm does not look at orphan diseases.
The firm would like to see companies have 2-3 years of experience working with grant funding and passionate, resolute teams with 2+ years of proven commitment and strong market/technology expertise. Additionally, although companies are not required to relocate to India, they are required to clearly target at or involve India’s emerging and historically neglected populations of over 600 million and meeting a pressing need. The firm may take a board seat on a case-by-case basis as they act on both leading and co-investing.
