Why this fund, why now

  • Five operators have signed every cheque before this one.

    Founding partners built Bombay Shaving Company, Pilgrim, Naturis Cosmetics, Nazara Technologies — and one shipped agentic AI systems across education, health, and ops. Every partner has run a P&L that had to survive on its own oxygen.

  • Three forces stacking inside a single window.

    Demographic dividend + India's payments-and-identity stack + the global pricing collapse of intelligence. India is in the middle of all three at the same time. Fund I is the cheque you write before everyone else has agreed.

  • Concentrated by design.

    15–20 founders, $50K–$500K initial cheques, $1.7M reserved for follow-ons into the highest-conviction half of the book. Operator help on the things that actually move a P&L.
