Chiratae Ventures is the only VC firm in India to have returned capital to its investors every single year for a decade, with an unusually high share of domestic rupee capital from Indian family offices and institutions rather than relying predominantly on offshore funding like many peers. The firm runs Sonic, a seed program that promises 48-hour turnaround on decisions up to $500k with standardized terms, and has built a heavyweight Global Advisory Board anchored by Ratan Tata and Infosys co-founder Kris Gopalakrishnan to give portfolio founders direct access to India's industrial and technology leadership networks.
