BFF is an early-stage venture group of established founders who support budding founders building for Bharat. The sector-agnostic firm has so far invested in fintech, healthcare, logistics, and consumer goods, among others. “Being sector-agnostic gives us the ability to evaluate opportunities across industries with genuine insider knowledge rather than being constrained by a narrow sector focus,” Maanav Sagar, managing partner, Bharat Founders Fund, told FE.
