Titan Capital

Is Titan Capital the right door

Titan Capital is a venture capital firm, not an incubator or an accelerator. There is no cohort, no fixed intake, no workspace and no curriculum. If you are looking for a structured programme, look elsewhere; if you are raising a first round and want an investor, this is a route you can use.

It invests at pre-seed and seed and says it prefers to be your first institutional investor. If you have already raised an institutional round, you are outside the stage it leads at, though it does keep backing companies it already holds.

How the application works

• Everything goes through the Get Investment form on the site. There is no cohort deadline and no application window, so you can send it whenever you are ready.
• A deck is optional. The firm says the form on its own is enough and that it will ask for more if there is mutual interest.
• If you do attach a deck, it takes a PDF, PowerPoint, document or image up to 20 MB.
• You are asked to say how much you are raising and whether you have raised before, so have those settled before you write in.
• The firm says it reads every application and that most founders hear back within days rather than weeks.

What to get right in the form

• The one-line description is capped at fifteen words. Write what the company does, not what it aspires to.
• "What problem are you solving, and why does it matter now?" has five hundred characters. The second half of that question is the part most founders skip — say what has changed that makes this the moment.
• Pick your sectors honestly from the list the form offers: AI and machine learning, fintech, health, climate, developer tools, B2B SaaS, consumer, deep tech, logistics, education, or other.
• Include your LinkedIn or a personal site. The firm says repeatedly that it backs the founder before the market, so the person is part of what is being assessed.

What they say they look for

Titan Capital describes backing the individual rather than the market cycle, and being comfortable being early and out of step with consensus. Its own framing is that it invests when there is more conviction than evidence. It also talks about businesses whose economics work before the story does, so unit economics are worth addressing rather than avoiding.

After an investment

The firm says the first year as a portfolio company matters most, and that it works with founders on hiring, go-to-market strategy and setting up the next raise. Beyond that it points to its founders community, an expert network for on-call answers, a talent network for hiring, and an introductions service for customers and partners.

The Indicorns list is a different route

If your company is already profitable, has crossed the revenue bar the list publishes and was founded within the last fifteen years, you can put yourself forward for the Indicorns index instead. It is open to companies that are unfunded, acquired or publicly listed, and it is not limited to Titan Capital's portfolio. You submit company details along with audited financial statements, and the team reviews them. It is recognition only — no money, no programme.

Titan Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm in Gurugram, Haryana. It was started in 2011 by Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal, who began by backing founders with their own money rather than as a fund, and it now runs two SEBI-registered Category II Alternative Investment Funds. Its office is at M3M Urbana in Sector 67, Gurugram.

What it backs

Titan Capital invests at pre-seed and seed. In its own words it prefers to be a company's first institutional investor, and it continues to back companies it already holds in later rounds. Its investment team is split into a seed team and an early-growth team, each covering technology and consumer, which matches that two-part approach.

The sectors it names on its own application form are AI and machine learning, fintech, health, climate, developer tools, B2B SaaS, consumer, deep tech, logistics and education, with an "other" option for anything outside that list. Its published portfolio runs to roughly 196 company pages on its own site and covers home services, consumer brands, B2B commerce and lending, payments infrastructure, last-mile logistics and collections software, among others.

The firm sets out three ideas about how it invests: it backs the individual rather than the market cycle, it does not wait for consensus, and its involvement does not end at the cheque.

How to apply

There is one open route in for founders, and it is a form on the site called Get Investment. The link sits in the header and footer of every page. It asks for your name, email, phone number and a LinkedIn or personal site; then your company name, website, a one-line description of fifteen words or fewer, and up to five hundred characters on what problem you are solving and why it matters now. After that it asks you to pick your sectors, state your current stage, say how much you are raising, and say whether you have raised before — first round, angels only, or institutional. A deck can be uploaded as a PDF, PowerPoint, document or image, but it is optional: the firm says the form alone is enough and that it will ask for more if there is mutual interest.

No eligibility gate is published. Titan Capital does not state a geography restriction, an incorporation requirement, a revenue floor or a category bar anywhere on the application page. The only shaping it states is stage. On timing it says most founders hear back within days rather than weeks, and that it reads every application.

The firm does not publish cheque sizes, fund sizes or valuation terms on its site, so treat any such figure you have seen elsewhere as unconfirmed.

What comes with the cheque

Titan Capital describes an ecosystem it opens to companies it backs. There is a founders community it puts at more than 650 founders across more than 300 companies. There is the Titan Expert Network, or TEN, which it describes as operators, CXOs and domain experts available for office hours and sector-specific introductions. There is a job network it puts at more than 20,000 professionals, used to reach early-stage talent without building a hiring funnel. And there is Titan Connect, which it describes as a structured route to customers, partners and advisors rather than open networking.

On the investment side it lists fundraising support from targeting through to close, frameworks drawn from operators who have taken companies to a listing, counsel during crises, and follow-on capital concentrated in the companies it has most conviction in. On what happens immediately after an investment it says the first year matters most, and that it works closely with founders on hiring, go-to-market strategy and setting up the next raise.

Indicorns

Separately from investing, Titan Capital publishes the Indicorns list, an index of Indian companies that are profitable and have crossed a published revenue bar, founded within the last fifteen years. Kunal Bahl introduced the term on stage at TechSparks in September 2024 and the first list followed in October 2024 with 186 companies, screened with data partner Tracxn. A 2025 edition identified 202 companies. TiE Delhi-NCR is named as ecosystem partner.

The list is not restricted to Titan Capital's portfolio, and companies that are unfunded, acquired or publicly listed can all qualify. Titan Capital says a third edition is in preparation and that companies meeting the criteria can write in. Inclusion carries recognition only — there is no capital, cohort or programme attached to it.

Who runs it

Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal are the co-founders. Chetan Rana is CFO and Chief Compliance Officer. Aakriti Kakkar is Vice President, Corporate Development. On the seed investment team, Manik Pasricha is Vice President, Technology Investments and Utpal Raman Sharma is Vice President, Consumer Investments. Shiv Kapoor is a Vice President on the early-growth investment team.

Fund structure

Titan Capital Winners Fund I is registered with SEBI as a Category II Alternative Investment Fund, with Titan Winners Fund Management LLP as investment manager, Catalyst Trusteeship Limited as trustee and TC Sponsor and Services LLP as sponsor. A second vehicle, Titan Capital Fund II, is also registered with SEBI as a Category II Alternative Investment Fund. Investor grievances for the funds go to a dedicated investor relations inbox, with escalation to the compliance officer — that route is for the funds' investors, not for founders.

Location and contact
