Key takeaways

  • Fund Geography - All VCs are located in India, most commonly in Mumbai, which is home to 8 funds. Less common, though still notable, are funds from New Delhi, Bangalore, and Gurgaon. For the most part, funds tend to invest in projects based in India and The United States, with the majority investing in India. Additionally, you will find that for most of the funds listed, the country of their establishment and the country of their most frequent investments tend to coincide.
  • Industry Focus - Generally, the funds' most common field of investment is Finance, however, they will also invest in Enterprise Software, Consumer, and E-Commerce Platforms. 
  • Important Years - The oldest fund in the sample was founded in 1999, while the newest one was founded in 2016. The most amount of funds was founded in 2013. In the given sample, funds made the most deals in 2015-2020. Also worth noting that for some funds in the sample, 2019 was the year with the most amount of deals.
  • Investments - Usually VCs take part in 2-6 funding rounds per year, although sometimes that number will fall between 7-12. For the VCs in the sample, the minimum number of funding rounds is 12, while the maximum is 280. The average number of funding rounds is 75.1, with the median falling below that at 54.0. The most common number of funding rounds for VCs in the sample is also closer to the lower end of the spectrum at 18. When it comes to lead investments, the minimum amount for funds is 5 and the maximum is 122. The average falls closer to the lower end of the spectrum at 34.2, with the median dipping even lower at 21.5. The most common number of lead investments is 9. The range of the index of difference in percentage points of lead investments from the average is between -49.95 and 13.72 for funds in the sample. Given also that the average value for this difference is -21.65, the median is -24.61, and the most common value is -23.63, it can be seen that these funds will act as lead investors less often than other funds.
  • Typical Rounds - Funds in the sample will most commonly invest in projects at the Early stage, with Seed, Late, and Venture stage investments being less common. VCs will typically participate in rounds with 2-3 investors, with decreased participation in rounds with 3-4 investors. The most common round size for the given VCs is less than 100 thousand, while 10-50 million is a less common range. The funds' average multiplier for portfolio companies at the last known valuation ranges from 0.0 to 3.04. The majority of this data, however, is gathered towards the lower end of the spectrum, as the average for the multiplier is 0.61, the median is 0.24, and the most common value is 0.0.
