About AIVC

Conviction capital for
India's AI decade

We started as a small group of operators who believed India would build world-class AI. Three funds later, that belief is a thesis, and a portfolio.

AIVC was founded on a simple observation: the talent building the world's AI was increasingly Indian, but the capital backing them earliest was not. We set out to change that.

Today we're one of India's most active early-stage AI investors, partnering with founders from the first line of code. We invest with conviction, concentrate our bets, and stay close, because the companies that define this decade need more than money.

What makes us different

The partner we wished we had

Founder-first

We back people before decks. Clean terms, fast decisions, and support that shows up long after the wire clears.

Deep AI expertise

Researchers and operators who've shipped models and scaled AI products, not tourists chasing a trend.

Hands-on, always

Hiring, GTM, compute, government. We roll up our sleeves wherever a founder needs an unfair advantage.
