Ojas Venture Partners Information

Who is Ojas? Ojas is an India based early stage VC firm backed by one of the early captains of Indian IT industry, Mr. Nadathur S. Raghavan, cofounder and former MD of Infosys. Our mission is to (in our own small way) energize the entrepreneurial ecosystem in India. Our investment spans from $100K through $3M. So what’s different about us and why partner with us? Firstly, as you may have noticed, there aren’t too many VC Funds in India whose primary focus is to provide between $100 K to $3 Million of capital that a technology entrepreneur typically requires at the early stages of their venture. Secondly, our team consists of individuals who have either been entrepreneurs themselves or worked with start-ups for much of their careers. So, we understand to a good extent, the challenges that arise in nurturing a company from an idea to a scalable, profitable, competitive business. We are ever ready to roll up our sleeves and dive in to help our portfolio companies. And, we are not just talking about ‘once-a month board meeting’ sort of help, but, actual operational support be it in strategy, business development, HR, finance or any other area. Now obviously we realize that we are not experts in all domains nor do we have unlimited bandwidth! And that is why: Thirdly, we are actively bringing on board the “Gurus of Ojas” -- in-the-field experts in leadership positions in their respective organizations and are passionate about mentoring and helping entrepreneurs in India. At the same time, recognizing that the venture is the entrepreneur’s baby, we are ready to step out of the way if we become an impediment to execution. More often than not however, ventures feel the need for deeper involvement from us and the Gurus and that’s when the magic begins to happen!
