**Equirus InnovateX Fund announces final close of B2B tech fund at Rs 166 Cr** Equirus InnovateX Fund (EIF), the early stage venture arm of the Equirus Group, has announced the final close of its maiden B2B tech fund at Rs 166 crore. The fund’s first close was announced in February 2024. According to EIF, it backs seed and pre-Series A companies building in deep tech, SaaS, and fintech, typically teams that are post-product and working toward product-market fit. The fund aims to partner with founders solving hard problems with clear distribution and defensibility, and who are building for long-term sustainability. The close attracted both domestic and global investors who bring operational experience and market access in addition to capital. EIF counts a number of founders and operators among its backers, including Girish Gaitonde, M.R. Jyothy, Dhimant Bhayani, Raj P., Shankar Vailaya, and Nitin Seth. The fund is led by Krishna Jha, Sunder Nookala, and Sadhika Agarwal, founders and investors with strong operational backgrounds, who are responsible for driving investments and managing the portfolio across the fund’s focus areas. EIF states that it has deployed over one-third of the corpus, backing seven startups from Fund I, with a target portfolio of up to 15 companies. Active investments include Pointo, Datazip, GreenStitch, CtrlB, Consuma AI, RSPL, and NeverInstall. The remaining capital is expected to be deployed over the next 12 to 18 months. Beyond capital, EIF partners with founders on enterprise access, regulatory navigation, senior hiring, and capital raising preparedness. The fund emphasises strong governance and long-term value creation. With the maiden fund now fully closed, it will focus on scaling its existing portfolio, selectively adding new companies, and deepening relationships with founders and long-term capital partners as it lays the groundwork for its next fund.

The proceeds will be allocated for technology development and market expansion - both domestically and globally, Consuma said in a press release. Launched in 2021 by Abhilash Madabhushi, Consuma is an AI startup that aims to revolutionize how brands conduct consumer research. By replacing traditional surveys and focus groups with AI-driven analysis of digital behaviour, Consuma enables brands to access faster, richer, and more cost-effective insights. “Consumers are changing faster than ever before, and brands need research methods that keep up with this rate of change. We are building technology to bring consumer research into the age of AI - driving differential insights in minutes, not months,” said Abhilash Madabhushi, founder of Consuma. According to Consuma, brands can perform research in 30 minutes instead of 2-3 months, at 1/10th the cost, all while analysing 1000x more data. In less than six months since its public launch, the company claims that it already works with over 35 global brands, including Godrej and Britannia.
