This past week, I had an engaging conversation with Sanjoy Sanyal for Caspian Climate Conversations. We discussed my newest venture, Edhina Capital, and investment opportunities in IP-led businesses in EV and Energy sectors. CCC has captured a wealth of knowledge from various thinkers, doers, and innovators in climate technology over the last three years. It is an honour to join this formidable line-up. At Edhina Capital, our competitive strategy is rooted in Sector and Technology depth and painstaking Research for differentiated investment opportunities. Our mission is to provide vertical support to businesses. We help family offices with direct investment opportunities. Couple of arguments that formed the centre of my conversation with Sanjoy: 1. Traditional sectors of Mobility, Energy and Built Environment are transitioning to being climate resilient on the back of deep Science, Computing, Communication and Scale. These present significant investment opportunities in IP-led businesses that are disrupting the sector. 2. Nuanced understanding of the Sector, Technology and Product differentiation feeds a powerful investment strategy at Edhina that is capital efficient at Early stage as well as at the Growth stage, and renders itself to market competitive returns.

I was recently introduced to the Mensarius Oath - a pledge for the investment community akin to the Hippocratic Oath for medicine. As I begin to build the next stage of my investing career, I believe the values imparted in this oath to be both essential and fundamental to my success as an investor, money manager, and human. I urge anyone working with investor capital to review and reflect on these core values as a reminder of how we should carry ourselves through this world. https://lnkd.in/gMhifhtT #values #investor #ethics #mensariusoath #beagoodhuman

A rapidly maturing startup ecosystem, heightened due diligence practices, and a steady pipeline of startups gearing up for public markets, India is clearly the promised land for investors and entrepreneurs alike. In a recent interview with Vibhuti Sharma from DealStreetAsia, I delved into how India remains a key focus for RTP Global. We discussed how with our new $1B fund, we are doubling down on the region's potential, backed by our dedicated team in India supporting early-stage entrepreneurs. India is an essential part of RTP Global's long-term vision, and we remain committed to nurturing innovative startups that can scale globally

Few moments feel as good as watching our founders crush it out in the world. Seeing Harshal Chokhawala speak at SynBioBeta about building ZymoChem was one of those times. Our job as investors is to support the entrepreneurs who are ready to change the world. At Breakout Ventures, this means partnering with creative bioscience founders who are determined to overcome the biggest challenges in human and climate health. When Harshal launched ZymoChem to develop bio-based versions of chemicals and materials, he knew the height of the challenge he was taking on. Over the last few years, we’ve seen him grow his team, scale his tech, win strategic partnerships, and gain crucial funding to keep climbing. He’s taken the stage time and again to show the world how biomanufacturing will help us reach a fossil-free future. SynBioBeta reminds us that we are surrounded by people who believe in biotech's potential for solving our planet’s most pressing problems. Playing a role in this community of scientists and innovators is one of the highlights of my work. And - it was awesome to end the week on a enthusiastic and fun panel packed with folks fighting to make the future of synbio bright Taehong Huh (GS Futures),Kelsey Weimer (Synonym), Kristen McCarthy Barton, CFA (Mango Materials), and Richard Kenny (Hawkwood Biotech Partners). You can read more about ZymoChem’s success and how founders can follow in Harshal’s footsteps in our recent Medium article: https://lnkd.in/ggUiiv9k #SynBioBeta2024 #Biomanufacturing #ClimateTech #Biotech #SyntheticBiology #IndustrialBiotech

Force Ventures LLP is delighted to participate in TransBnk - Transaction Banking Platform's USD4M equity financing round, led by 8i Ventures and Accion Venture Lab, along with co investors such as GMO Venture Partners, Ratio Ventures and others. Transbnk, a fast growing fintech SaaS platform, operates at the intersection of lendingtech, regtech and paymenttech, with a strong focus on building transaction banking solutions in the USD 200B unsecured lending market. Wishing the best to team Transbnk as they continue their high quality buildout across India, Middle East and South East Asia markets. Vaibhav Tambe Sachin Gupta - Couldn’t think of a better team to build for this segment, given their very strong domain expertise and founder market fit, which is also reflected in the speed of their product adoption, while maintaining fantastic unit economics all throughout. Read more at: https://lnkd.in/gD9SP73A We at Force Ventures LLP are strong believers in the “fintech infra layer” story for the next decade, as many Indian Startups, build the critical API / infra layer for their Indian and global clients across verticals. While the sales cycles in fin SaaS are undoubtedly elongated, the corollary is that once they are deeply embedded in customer workflows, switching costs tend to be very high for customers, resulting in high stickiness and growing net revenue retention. We consider ourselves very fortunate to be first cheque backers or early backers of high quality fintech SaaS / Infra / BFSI focused start-ups such as bluecopa, Credgenics, Inkle, IGNOSIS, Finverv, OneAssure, SatSure, PYOR and others. If you are a founder building in fintech infra / fintech SaaS we would love to chat and learn more!  #fintechinfra #SaaS #startups

Sharp questions NISHA PODDAR and sensible answers from one of the most under-stated investors (with a stellar track record) Mukul Arora 👏 Elevation Capital have indeed set a high bar for private markets investing in India. No surprise that they are loved by founders, LP's and other stakeholders. At WaterBridge Ventures have had the privilege of working with #ElevationCapital on several company building journeys and it has been a lot of learning and fun. As Mukul said, fundamentally it's about backing high quality founders & companies, looking for the right levers (innovation vs. profitability depending on the stage), and re-tooling, evolving investment strategies as market structures and business models of success change in a fast evolving market like 🇮🇳. He makes it sound so simple. But it is - just the discipline of doing it repeatedly isn’t, that requires a different order of effort and skill. And that also separates the Midas touch investors from the common ones. Icing on the cake that #ElevationCapital folks are also as humble as they come 🎉

This has to be one of the most entertaining Investment Memos I've ever seen! Excited to see what lies ahead for Schmooze. Kudos to the Elevation Capital team, Krishna Veera Vanamali Y thanks for sharing. Quick FYI: Investment Memos are documents prepared by the team in a venture capital fund to present to their Investment Committee for approval to invest. (Yes, we need permission from someone to invest, it isn't up to us!) #venturecapital #funding #investmentmemo #funny #startup

Saudi aramco's global venture investment entities are some of the most sophisticated and scaled corporate venturing arms I have come across the globe. aramco's Wa'ed Ventures earmarks $100 million to invest in #artificialintelligence #startups to accelerate Saudi Arabia’s push to become a more competitive force in global AI. They have also appointed an #advisory board made up of former employees from companies including Facebook Meta Platforms Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. to explore early-stage investments in the sector. The capital will be deployed over the next three years. aramco has investment entities across the globe beyond its Saudi Arabia HQ including the United States, #UK, #europe, #china, and soon to be #india. In my notes, this is the largest corporate venturing platform in the world by assets under management. Lets hope this endures through #hydrocarbon price volatility to facilitate further economic diversification. #saudiarabia #saudivision2030 #saudiaramco #energy #corporateventure #cvc #capitalmarkets #gcc #investing #venturecapital #alternativeassets https://lnkd.in/ghrSVxzs
