Priya Shah at Theia Ventures builds an IP-led climate fund that backs defensible hardware and science-heavy innovation in under-invested segments like power grid efficiency and industrial decarbonization in India, while educating global investors about these less-visible opportunities. She writes detailed research in multiple languages (English, Hindi, Marathi, Bangla) arguing that India must invest more in early-stage climate science as a public good, and actively brings Indian family offices and industrial families into climate-tech investing by showing them technologies applicable to their core industries.

Theia Ventures is one of India's first specialist early-stage funds explicitly focused on AI, deeptech, energy transition, and decarbonisation, backing technologies that transform industrial systems and decarbonise heavy industry, manufacturing, materials, mobility, and supply chains. The fund has an unusually global LP base for a small India-based climate fund, with backing from British International Investment, Germany's Allocator One, US-based Cisco Foundation, Australia's Vitality Capital Partners, Japan's MOL PLUS, and prominent Indian family offices, positioning it as a cross-border bridge between global climate capital and Indian industrial decarbonisation.
