Excerpts
Being an early-stage VC firm, how do you identify an idea which changes an industry? What are the key parameters which you evaluate while shortlisting potential portfolio companies?
We are focused on investments in India comprising different sectors. All these different sectors are experiencing digitisation across businesses and consumers, which basically give rise to opportunities for investing.
When we are evaluating companies, we look towards large spaces and sectors in the Indian economy. We look for large problem statements that exist which can lead to large businesses. We go out and speak to stakeholders and validate those statements. And we look for how technology can be at the heart of the solution. We are therefore also looking at what is the intellectual property or defensibility or moat, as investors call it that the founders have created. That should be rooted in tech.
What is it that you try to find in the founding team before investing in a venture?

ECONOMY'S HIDDEN HAND: STREET IS BOOMING BUT THE BOARDROOM IS NOT
EIGHT-POINT-TWO per cent. India's economy has rarely looked stronger: growth is among the quickest anywhere, quarterly numbers keep beating expectations, and the India-decade narrative grows louder. Yet inside corporate boardrooms, the soundtrack is different. On earnings calls, optimism is muted and demand signals remain uneven. The GDP is sprinting, but the consumer is not, an FMCG chief quipped. The contradiction is stark: national output surges while corporate India clears its throat.

DECODING THE CAPITAL MARKETS
AS WE STEP INTO 2026, the moment seems opportune to pause, reflect and take stock of one of the most animated corners of India's capital markets - the initial public offering (IPO) space. In this issue, we examine the forces shaping the primary markets, the lessons investors are learning the hard way and the questions that will determine how capital is raised. By any measure, 2025 was a blockbuster year for India's primary markets. More than 100 IPOs hit the bourses, together raising over Rs 1.7 lakh crore. From marquee, brand-led mainboard issues to a surge in SME listings, the pipeline barely paused. Strong domestic liquidity, record retail participation and a steady mutual fund bid ensured that most offerings sail through the subscription phase, often with eye-catching demand multiples. On the surface, it appeared to be a golden period for entrepreneurship and raising capital.
