Partnering founders to build the brands of tomorrow.
Spring was founded with a very simple goal: to invest in the most exciting consumer startups being born in India, and help them grow into loved and desired brands through the firm's greatest strength, brand marketing. Spring was founded by three marketeers with diverse skill sets and personalities: Raja Ganapathy (ex-CMO at Sequoia), Vineet Gupta (ex-CEO at DDB & founder of 22Feet Tribal) and Arun Iyer (CCO & Chairman of Lowe Lintas). The three of them came together to help build the brands of tomorrow. The Spring Marketing Capital Fund ('Spring Fund') and the Early Spring Fund are SEBI registered Category II AIFs (Alternative Investment Funds).
Arun Iyer
Founding Partner
Arun Iyer has been in Advertising forever. Ok, not forever, but about 20 years. 16 of them in Lowe Lintas, one of India's leading advertising agencies and the last 6 of them as Chief Creative Officer and the Chairman of the company. Arun has creatively impacted multiple brands in this country. They range from startups to large multinational companies and everything in between. Arun believes in transformation using creativity that stems from the core product backed by a clear proposition and a strong brand point of view. His biggest joy comes when this creativity can change the fortunes of the brands he works with.
R Narayanan
Founder & Director
R Narayanan is the founder of Vishwaksena Investment Advisors Private Limited and serves as the SEBI contact person for the fund. He is involved in structuring investments, advisory, and capital solutions for growth-stage businesses.
Raja Ganapathy
Founding Partner
Raja has worked with founders for most of his working life of 24+ years. First with Ogilvy and Brand David, where he worked with founders including Muruga of Bharat Matrimony and Siddhartha Lal of Royal Enfield. His defining stint was with Sequoia India, where as CMO, Raja worked with founders from different stages. His raison d'etre is to look at business challenges through the lens of marketing with a skin-in-the-game, long term approach to help build the brands of tomorrow. Raja is an eternal optimist and believes strongly that creativity and entrepreneurship can change the world.
Vineet Gupta
Founding Partner
Vineet co-founded and built a digital marketing agency at a point in time when the category did not exist and 'Digital' was far from being the ubiquitous word it has become today. The agency he helped create, 22 feet, became a pioneer in the business, and was acquired by the Omnicom Group. In turn, Vineet went on to become the CEO of the DDB Mudra group. More importantly, Vineet also realised his true calling, to help build brands for a new age and a new world.
