Notable Investments
Shastra VC backs belief-stage frontier tech, climate tech, and AI founders where vision matters more than current metrics, focusing on pre-commercial, science-led companies in hard science domains like space, semiconductors, quantum, nanotech, advanced manufacturing, and biotech rather than broad tech or SaaS. The fund is run by entrepreneurs turned investors who provide hands-on support and maintains an unusually science-heavy portfolio for an India-focused VC with 20+ patents filed, $10M+ in non-dilutive grants raised, and 12+ PhD scholars as founders across ~30 startups.
