For us, failure isn’t automatically disqualifying; what truly matters is why it happened. Did the founder fail at something they genuinely cared about, or were they simply just following a trend?
I would much rather back someone who may have failed in fintech but is again trying in fintech, because I know they have lived that customer pain. What we absolutely don’t tolerate is dishonesty or treating people poorly.
How do you monitor such a wide portfolio of 150 companies?
We don't, at least not in the conventional way. Of the 1,200 crore we've deployed so far, 20-30% is concentrated in about 20-30 companies, and those are the ones we track more closely.
But it’s never really about spreadsheets or monthly reviews—it’s about conversations. If a founder needs help with hiring, PR, or distribution, we step in. Otherwise, we trust them completely.
