India’s hottest microVC just leveled up big time. Artha India Ventures has officially closed its latest fund, pushing total assets under management past a staggering Rs 1,200 crore — and it’s laser-focused on backing only the absolute best.

Dubbed the game-changer for the much-talked-about “missing middle” of Indian startups, this fund zeroes in on Series B and C stage companies that are poised for explosive growth but have struggled to find the right capital and support — until now.

What makes this fund unstoppable? It’s backed by the biggest names in Indian family offices and ultra-wealthy investors, with global heavy hitters also jumping onboard. Plus, the team promises not just deep pockets but hands-on operational help and strategic muscle to catapult startups from promising to global giants.

Artha’s Managing Partner Anirudh Damani says this fund will be the rocket fuel for 12–14 startups over the next four years, giving them the money and mentorship they need to dominate markets worldwide — without diluting founder control.

If you’re tracking the next wave of Indian unicorns, keep your eyes glued here. This fund is the secret weapon startups have been waiting for, and it’s about to rewrite the rules of Indian venture capital forever.
