Manu Chandra at Sauce.vc focuses on making concentrated bets on a few outlier consumer brands in India, often doubling and tripling down across rounds rather than spreading capital across many companies. He combines his background as a director at 3i Group with hands-on angel investing experience to identify early inflection points in Indian consumer brands, while actively educating founders through structured talks on company-building and fundraising.

Sauce.vc is a consumer-focused venture capital fund that enters at the pre-seed stage and stays with founders through multiple rounds using separate early-stage and opportunities funds, allowing them to write checks up to Rs 250 crore into their highest-conviction companies. The fund specializes in building new-age Indian consumer brands from scratch in categories like F&B, personal care, and lifestyle, and has already returned 3.5x their first fund through partial exits in companies like The Whole Truth and Mokobara.
