About us
Capital-A is THE start-up for start-ups – a venture fund for seed to early stage meaningful start-ups. We are here for founders and co-founders who eat, sleep and drink their business. We’re always there to work alongside these passionate people, and not above them, to help them succeed. Our aspiration is to either lead the round, or be in the game as co-investors. Nothing less suffices. The fund is led by Ankit Kedia, former promoter of Manjushree Technopack Ltd., the largest manufacturers of rigid plastics packaging in the entire South Asia region. The company was divested to Advent International in 2018.

Our portfolio Ivory delivers a powerful message on International Men's Day! 💙 Rahul Krishnan Issac John
We've learnt at Ivory that given the various changes that women go through in middle-age, they are a lot more on the guard about things to take care of when it comes to their health. Men on the other hand are kinda doofus-es. I know because I used to be one when it came to health in my 30s. I was reckless about my sleep, would drink to indulge conversations on 'who can do it more or mix it better,' and not thinking twice about eating out. So instead of telling you what to do, on International Men's Day, our team did a status quo check, just to let you know there's clear research out there that says men are twice as likely to be health illiterate than women. Doofus-es, us, I tell you! Stay well, folks! P.S. If you're also wondering if International Men's Day is a thing, trust me, I was in the same boat as you, 24 hours ago.
