Overview

About Chakra Growth Capital

A fund built by operators. The firm backs AI-native founders building across Agentic AI, Physical AI & Enterprise, the three dimensions defining the next decade of value creation. Its edge is operational. The firm has built and scaled the kind of companies it now invests in, and knows what the inflection point feels like from the inside.

Investment philosophy

The firm backs gritty founders applying breakthrough technology to large, established markets. Not the obvious ones. The ones where software, automation, and data are just beginning to reshape how the world works. The firm's edge is operational. The firm has scaled businesses from $10M to $100M+. It knows what the inflection point feels like from the inside — and it knows what it takes to get through it. Venture ambition & private equity discipline. Agentic AI: AI moving from tool to operator. The firm backs companies building reliable agentic systems in regulated industries — BFSI, clinical workflows, enterprise. Physical AI: Industrial automation, smart buildings, connected mobility, energy systems. AI applied to the physical world — the industries that define how we live and work. Enterprise: Every knowledge-intensive industry is restructuring around AI. Workflows, headcount, business models — being rebuilt from the ground up.

Founder & Managing Director

Venture capital was not built for people like us, and that is precisely why we built Chakra. We came at it as operators, having scaled businesses from the inside, earned our place in an industry that wasn't waiting for us, and learned that the difference between a company that scales and one that stalls is rarely capital. It is judgment, pattern recognition, and the willingness to stay in the room. That experience is what we bring to every founder we back, across every stage, from the earliest conviction bet to the hardest scaling decisions. And what we look for in them is what we recognise in ourselves: not the perfect pitch, but the grit to keep going long after the reasonable thing would be to stop.
