VC firm Antler India fast-tracking AI investments
Mint New Delhi
|October 22, 2025
Early-stage venture capital firm Antler India is looking to back six to eight of the 26 startups, which participated in its just concluded AI residency programme that was designed to help founders with early funding and go-to-market support.
“Companies spanned dating, companionship, cooking, storytelling for children, and even sleep,” said Nitin Sharma, partner and co-lead for India at Antler. The programme also saw companies working on voice solutions for e-commerce merchant sellers targeting both medium and small ventures. Most voice-based Gen AI efforts are focused on enterprise customers, primarily because that's where larger revenue and consistent clients exist.
