WHAT WE LOOK FOR? We are looking for the best and brightest founders and teams. In our experience, the quality, passion and commitment of a company's core team are more important than any other element.

WHEN TO REACH OUT? We invest between seed and series B initially in each company. We like to get to know founders early, ideally well before they are ready to raise capital.

HOW WE INVEST? We invest in companies primarily targeting the Indian market. We prefer to be the lead investor. We often invest on our own but also co-invest with other investors.

What comes after you have shouted Eureka?

Founders are always first in our eyes. Whether you have a nascent idea or are already running a business, let us help you turn ideas into reality and grow your business.
