Why Partner with Ojas?

Ojas is an India centric, technology focused early stage VC firm. The first fund is a US$ 35 Million fund. Our mission is to (in our own small way) energize the entrepreneurial ecosystem in India.

So what’s different about us?
Firstly, as you may have noticed, there aren’t too many VC Funds in India whose primary focus is to provide between $250 Thousand 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 to the extent we can

Thirdly, we are actively bringing on board the “Gurus of Ojas”. The Gurus of Ojas are “in-the-field” experts in leadership positions in their respective organizations and are passionate about mentoring and helping entrepreneurs in India create the next Google. A Guru would work closely with the entrepreneurs and help wherever the venture needs it most. 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 the Gurus and that’s when the magic begins to happen!
