Backing vision before the world sees it
The firm began backing startups in a personal capacity in 2015. One of its very first bets is now preparing for an IPO, while another has grown more than 45X in valuation. These experiences strengthened the firm's conviction and inspired it to dive deeper, eventually evolving into a family office. In 2017 the firm launched PitchRight Ventures as a family office to back early-stage companies with deeper involvement. In the middle of the lockdown, the firm secured its SEBI license and launched the PitchRight Ventures Angel Fund. In 2025 the firm launched 4U Fund, a ₹200 crore SEBI-registered VC fund.
