The driving force behind IvyCap
Founded in 2011, we at IvyCap Ventures are proud to be one of India's leading homegrown venture capital funds, leveraging the IIT and IIM alumni ecosystems to power the Indian start-up landscape and build market leaders. Headquartered in Mumbai, with offices in Delhi, Bengaluru, the US, and Singapore, we are currently managing assets of over USD 600 million (INR 5000 crore). Our portfolio includes 55+ companies across diverse sectors such as HealthTech, ConsumerTech, DeepTech (SaaS, AI/ML, IoT), FinTech, EdTech, and Emerging sectors like AgriTech and EV. Some of our well-known investments include Purplle.com, Snitch, BlueStone, Miko, FtCash, Eggoz Nutrition, Deep Rooted, Lissun, and more.
We are a sector-agnostic fund, driven by a strong belief in the power of people to ignite innovation and disruption. We focus on investing in early-stage companies with differentiated business models and strong unit economics. Our investments span from Seed and Pre-Series A to Series A and B rounds in startups that are developing innovative, technology-led products, services, and business solutions with the potential to scale and lead in competitive markets.
We are proud to be India's first homegrown VC fund to successfully create a dragon company. As a homegrown fund, we take immense pride in having IIT alumni as our anchor investors and over 25 institutional investors across our funds. Our strong governance model is supported by respected industry leaders and IIT/IIM faculty on our Board of Advisors.
We also take great pride in creating India’s first Endowment Fund at IIT Delhi, launched by the Hon. President of India in October 2019. We are the only VC fund where a significant portion of the Fund Manager's profits is contributed back to the IITs and IIMs through Endowments.
At IvyCap Ventures, our core philosophy is to create enduring value for all stakeholders through capital and expertise. We are committed to nurturing strong relationships with our investors and portfolio companies while generating meaningful impact alongside financial returns.
