InfoEdge Ventures is the venture capital arm of Info Edge Ltd., set up in 2019 with the support of Temasek. Its roots go back to the early 2000s, when Info Edge's founder started backing technology start-ups across sectors, with early investments in Zomato and PolicyBazaar. The fund manager is Smartweb Internet Services Limited, and the funds are registered with SEBI as Category II alternative investment funds. The team sits in Gurugram, on Golf Course Road.

Stage, sectors and geography

InfoEdge Ventures lists its investment stage as Pre-Seed, Seed and Series A, and says it invests in the early to growth stages of a company. It prefers to be the first institutional investor in a business and tends to join follow-on rounds in portfolio companies that keep executing well. The mandate is sector-agnostic and focused on India. In its FAQ the firm names ConsumerTech, FinTech, DeepTech, Ecommerce and AgriTech among the areas it has backed, and says it looks for tech-enabled ventures where digital disruption is possible. Its portfolio page groups companies under labels such as AI, B2B Marketplace, CleanTech, EdTech, HealthTech, Logistics and SaaS. Over the past 8 years it says it has partnered with over 90 early-stage, tech-enabled start-ups.

What it looks for

The firm says it weighs the business model and market opportunity, the strength of the management team, the competitive landscape, the potential for growth and the scalability of the business, along with the ability to generate returns for investors. Above all it says it wants entrepreneurs who are passionate about solving a problem and want to build an enduring business. Cheque size is described as flexible and depends on the founder's requirement and the company's stage.

What founders get beyond capital

InfoEdge Ventures describes its offer as patient capital with long fund cycles and support up to the pre-IPO stage. It also points to connections with senior leaders across the Indian tech ecosystem, access to Info Edge Ltd.'s internal departments, and support through the founder's journey from 0 to 1.

How to reach them

The website carries a Submit Pitch button and asks founders to send pitches to a general inbox on its own domain, connect@infoedgeventures.com. The site does not publish a pitch template, a document checklist, response timelines or a separate application form, so keep the first email short and include what the firm says it screens for: market, team, competition, growth and scalability. This is an investor, not a grant or an incubator: money comes as an equity investment, and the site does not describe any programme, cohort or deadline.
