Indian Venture Capital and Private Equity Firm

Ventureast is one of the highly experienced fund managers in India, now on to its “third” generation of funds, with close to $300 million under management. We are a fund manager that is entrepreneurial in our origins, not affiliated to or sponsored by an institution either Indian or overseas. Ventureast is one of the handful of teams in india that have been investing through the last economic downturn, and one of even fewer partnerships that have stayed together from before that period.

We are a stage agnostic fund manager but with a penchant for venture style investing. Our funds are focused on market based themes rather than on specific industry verticals. Our funds include those that focus on meeting health care needs of the market, irrespective of whether the solution is driven by biotechnology/pharmacology or innovative business models. Similarly, our technology fund is focused on the needs of semi-urban rural markets and the needs of small/medium enterprises (SMEs) , irrespective of whether the solution is derived from ICT, or a business model change. (see Funds)

Our consistent theme through the years is to “differentiate” in investing, in deal generation, in our working style with entrepreneurs; and in our choice of investors. We are passionate about our portfolio companies, we are extremely hands-on, and we have delivered great returns. One investor said about us, “you make money, but you make it differently“.
