In 2018, two engineers came to us wanting to fix how Indian factories find & manage suppliers. We co-led their seed round that year. Today, @zetwerk rang the bell on the NSE & BSE.
Congratulations to @acharyaamrit, @srinathramki, Vishal, Rahul, Ankit & the entire Zetwerk team
Zetwerk didn’t cause all of that, but it changed what people believed a tech company could do in a hard, physical industry, and it showed that capital would follow. It goes public today, and we think the most interesting chapter for Indian manufacturing is only starting.
Excited to invite founders & operators to Kae Catalyst | Consumer Edition, hosted with @googlecloud in Mumbai. An evening of insights, conversations & networking with consumer innovators.
📅 Sep 10 | 🕡 6:30–11 PM | 📍 Mumbai

Working with @BlumeVentures as a Guest Fund for the second edition of the coveted #OmegaFiles has been delightful. It was also an exercise that made us realise how far we've come as a fund since 2012 and allowed us to look back at the successes we've had every year.
Omega Files returns! Bigger, deeper, and, dare we say, more revealing.
Omega Files Episode 1 caused quite a flutter, diving deep into Fund I and sparking plenty of whys and hows.
This time, the authors Karthik Reddy (@BKartRed) and Adithya Santhosh (@AdithyaS017), are back with an even deeper analysis: unpacking IRRs of Fund I and IA, offering patterns that mark the winners, and how Indian VCs are scripting their own success stories.
Blume Ventures proudly presents the next episode of Omega Files.
Here's a glimpse of what to expect.

Had an incredible experience as a part of the Ladies' Wing of IMC Chamber of Commerce and Industry as a shark in their event IMPACT 2024.
I got the chance to meet inspiring women entrepreneurs building incredible businesses, and can't wait to see this number go further up soon!
I was part of a great panel at #MTW2024, discussing the relevance of Mumbai as a crucial tech hub, given how the startup ecosystem in India is expanding. A lot of brilliant young minds are building out of Mumbai and I'm excited to see it get its due.
@mumbai_tech_
Great energy at @mumbai_tech_ as @rahultaneja joined the panel 'Nurturing Tomorrow's Unicorns' to discuss fostering innovation and growth in the tech startup ecosystem. Looking forward to two days of connection and insight sharing! 🚀 #MTW2024
.@chaturvedig has written an excellent piece, explaining the importance of a founder-investor fit and how imperative it is for a long-term sustainable partnership. Some key insights here for all upcoming and new founders, have a look
Along with finding a product-market fit and a founder-market fit, it's equally important to focus on a founder-investor fit. The value system and goals alignment of founders and investors pave the way for a successful, long-lasting relationship.

Being pioneers of early-stage investing in India, we’ve seen the ecosystem grow & see enough merit in being involved for as long as possible in a company’s lifecycle.
We're grateful to all our investors for backing us & extremely bullish on India's growth in the next decade.
Elated to announce our Winners Fund II today.
Through this fund, we will be able to back our star founders in late-stage rounds as well as participate in rounds of other market-leading companies outside the Kae portfolio.

Making an MVP your priority helps you to deliver a much superior product to your target audience, as their guidance helps to take course correction measures in a timely and efficient manner.
In your early days, it's important to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), with just enough basic features to share with early adopters. With an MVP, you can ship a product with your core ideas & refine it based on early adopters’ feedback.
