If you are building anything in fintech, health, and wellness to help Indians build their health and wealth, we'd love to talk to you 😀
We started @Rainmatterin in 2016 to support fintech startups working on helping people do better with their money. So far, we have invested ~ Rs 400 crores in 80 startups. In this journey, we realized that having patient Indian investors backing Indian founders is helpful. We're now allocating Rs 1000 crores more to back entrepreneurs building for India. Good businesses cannot be built overnight, something we learned in our journey. So we are perennial investors and stick with the founders for as long as it takes the founders to build a sustainable business. The upside from our investment goes toward supporting other entrepreneurs and @RainmatterOrg. Check out this post for more.

We have partnered with @avaanacapital for a climate challenge around energy, materials, water, waste management, and agriculture. If you are a startup working in these areas, do apply.

India’s EV growth story has been remarkable, with sales going from 1.5 lakh units in 2019, to over 10 lakh units sold in 2023. While the EV sector in general has received lots of attention, the downstream manufacturing teams doing the real India-specific R&D have found very few takers. There is a lot of dependence on other countries for technology in EVs, which is not ideal. Which is why we are backing @NaxatraLabs - they are building radial and axial motors for EVs that are suitable for Indian infra, being cost-efficient, lighter, and smaller than existing solutions. We are excited to see all the R&D that comes out of Naxatra. They are a team that emerged from college, and there is always something about these kinds of teams. ❤️ To learn more, read this note by @PritnRandom, co-founder of @NaxatraLabs:

Access to necessities, like water, has become a huge problem in India. Casual misuse is easy because water is so cheap today, but getting clean water is becoming increasingly harder. We want to help people do something about this before it’s too late. That’s why, we backed @EkamEco. To learn more about what they do, read this note by Uttam Banerjee, founder of @EkamEco.

We are seeing more entrepreneurs in India trying to solve climate-related problems. Plastic is one such problem that needs immediate attention for lack of recycling and how much of it ends up in landfills. We are happy to reinforce our support for @Zerocircle through the follow-on round. Not a bad way to celebrate the National Startup Day. ❤️🇮🇳
