§ Initiatives · A full-stack platform for India's deep-tech decade

Not just a fund. A platform.

Five initiatives - EIRs, Studios, Sprints, Capital, and the Foundation - that compress the lab-to-market cycle and strengthen the ecosystem around it. We meet founders at every stage and stay together across rounds. Launching our initiatives soon.

Seed capital

Meaningful first cheques - pre-incorporation through Series A. Sized for the long timelines deep-tech actually needs.

Deep-scientific support

Domain advisors, technical experts, and sector mentors embedded across every cohort.

§ 04

Customer & pilot links

Corporate partners, sandbox pilots, co-development and testing - facilitated by the partnership.

Ecosystem building, science philanthropy and translational grants.

Strengthening institutions, cities, and emerging sectors to produce, catalyse, and de-risk more translatable ideas.
