ChanakyaVC

ChanakyaVC brings together a collective of seasoned operators and investors with extensive experience leading global teams across technology, finance, and mobility sectors. The team leverages their operational expertise and industry insights to provide meaningful support beyond just capital. With leadership backgrounds spanning multiple continents and industries, they combine practical business-building experience with strategic investment acumen to help early-stage founders navigate the critical early phases of company development.

The firm focuses exclusively on exceptional founders raising their first institutional round, typically at pre-seed or seed stages. Their investment thesis centers on identifying entrepreneurs with unique insights, strong execution capabilities, and businesses with potential for significant scale. ChanakyaVC evaluates opportunities across various sectors but shows particular interest in technology-enabled solutions addressing large markets with innovative approaches to existing problems.

As self-described "Super Angels," the ChanakyaVC team prides itself on being highly accessible to portfolio companies and maintaining a responsive investment process. Their streamlined decision-making approach allows for quick evaluation and funding decisions, typically completing the entire investment process in weeks rather than months. Portfolio companies benefit from hands-on mentorship, strategic guidance, and access to an extensive network of industry connections that can accelerate business development and future fundraising efforts.

With a strategic presence across Delhi, Bangalore, and Mumbai (DEL-BLR-BOM), ChanakyaVC is positioned at the heart of India's most vibrant startup ecosystems. This multi-city footprint enables them to identify promising ventures across the country's major innovation hubs while providing localized support to portfolio companies. Their geographic focus reflects their commitment to the Indian startup ecosystem, though they maintain global perspectives and connections that can help portfolio companies expand internationally when ready.
