Notable Investments
Unicorn India Ventures is co-founded by two senior operators with deep media and corporate experience—Bhaskar Majumdar from Zee Telefilms/MediaCorp and Anil Joshi from Mumbai Angels—creating an atypical blend of media, technology, and angel-network DNA that shapes how they source and support founders. The fund deliberately avoids popular sectors like ed-tech despite hype cycles, positioning themselves as contrarian and thesis-driven rather than momentum-driven, while Anil Joshi openly serves as a "founder hard-truth teller" who prepares entrepreneurs for difficult governance and leadership transitions beyond the standard founder-friendly narrative.
