India Founders Fund backs gritty founders turning futuristic ideas into game-changing companies. A ₹500 crore, India-focused, early-stage fund — managed by entrepreneurs who have been in the arena.
India is no longer emerging.
It is arriving.
Over the next decade, Indian companies are projected to add US $7.5 trillion in market capitalisation — of which roughly US $2 trillion will be created by a single generation of digital founders. We intend to back a meaningful share of them.

Request AccessIn March 2021, I rang the bell at the BSE for India's first listed gaming company. Nazara had taken twenty-two years to get there. I have spent the years since helping sixty other founders find their bell to ring — and India Founders Fund exists for the ones still on their way up.
