Our Investment Thesis

We invest in ventures solving large global problems with10x differentiated solutions

10x Differentiation

IP led businesses

We back businesses that demonstrate 10x differentiation on status quo. We believe that such companies can create huge value in new as well as crowded markets.

Global Problems

Solving a big problem in globally unique way

One of our critical criteria is if the teams are attacking big and fundamental problems at a global scale. While they might start in India, they have to think global. With our global network, we are in a unique place to help entrepreneurs realise their dream of building global companies.

AI 2.0 Evolution

We are at the 2nd Inflection point of AI

We back category leaders that leverage AI to differentiate themselves. Recent times have forced the world to go remote and pushed digital adoption, resulting in strong tailwinds that have expedited the adoption of AI even more. We believe that we are now at the second inflection point of modern age AI and it will become pervasive across all industries, all regions and use cases. We intend to focus on the accelerating as well as emerging use cases of AI in our investment decisions.

We do not invest in Science OR Incremental Innovation

Intersection of scalable businesses & disruptive technology

While we have a bias for disruptive technology, we do not back pure science or research on one side of the spectrum or incremental innovations on the other. We evaluate companies on the basis of their business and revenue potential which can be unlocked by use of disruptive tech.
