With a sharp focus on sectors such as semiconductors, defence, energy, and advanced materials, the firm is looking to back startups working on foundational technologies where India has both a strategic need and growing technical depth.

The firm is deploying capital from its $50 million fund and is targeting initial investments of $1-1.5 million, with a follow-on capacity of up to $3 million.
