Traditional VC funds raise capital from LPs, deploy it over a fixed fund lifecycle, and typically take board seats but remain operationally distant. As a Corporate Venture Capital group, we deploy our own capital, have no fixed fund lifecycle, and operate as active builders within our portfolio. We have built seven businesses ourselves, we bring operational experience, not just financial engineering.

We invest in businesses where the group's expertise in law, strategy, technology, and real estate creates genuine added value, not just capital. Our current focus sectors are legal services & LegalTech, management consulting, HR tech, real estate services, IT services, and adjacent verticals in India's professional services ecosystem.

We are stage-agnostic but tend to focus on businesses that have demonstrated early revenue traction and are seeking a strategic operating partner, not just a financial backer. We also consider pre-revenue companies with a compelling market thesis in our core sectors.
