Who We Are
AuraVentures was founded in 2015 by a group of serial entrepreneurs who had experienced firsthand how difficult it was to access smart capital and meaningful guidance. We built the firm we wished had existed when we were building companies.
Today we manage over $350M across three funds, backing 120+ companies across India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Our portfolio companies have gone on to create over 85,000 jobs and serve hundreds of millions of people.
"Capital is a commodity. We offer something far more valuable: conviction in your vision before the rest of the world sees it."
— Arjun Mehta, Founding Partner
Leadership
Our Principles
We invest in people before products. The resilience, vision, and adaptability of the founding team is the single most important factor in our investment decisions.
We are partners for decades, not just for the duration of a fund cycle. Our portfolio relationships last beyond any single exit or investment horizon.
We believe the next generation of global companies will come from India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. We are early and conviction-led investors in these regions.
We actively seek out founders from underrepresented communities and backgrounds, believing diverse founders build products that serve a wider world.
We integrate ESG considerations into every investment decision, believing that sustainable businesses are more defensible and create lasting value for all stakeholders.
We seek investments where we have a fundamentally different view of a market's potential than consensus opinion. Our best investments were non-obvious at the time.
Funding Options
We offer flexible, founder-friendly capital across the entire startup lifecycle. From your first institutional cheque to growth-stage rounds, we're built to move fast and support long.
First institutional money for pre-revenue or early-revenue companies with a validated thesis and strong founding team.
Growth-stage capital for companies with strong traction, clear unit economics, and a defined path to market leadership.
Late-stage co-investment for category-defining companies preparing for regional dominance or international expansion.
