With government-backed policies like the National Deep Tech Startup Policy and the Deep Tech Innovation Platform gaining traction, Lavni Fund II aims to ride this wave of momentum by investing in technology-driven solutions that can profitably tackle some of the world’s toughest problems. Lavni’s portfolio companies, such as Padcare Labs, Monitra Healthcare, and MedPrime Technologies, exemplify the potential of India’s deep-tech ecosystem. Collectively, Fund I startups, till FY25, have contributed to over 3.5 million student learning hours, more than 10,000 healthcare interventions in underserved markets, and 303 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent saved. “The successful launch of Fund II, with strong repeat participation from Fund I LPs, validates our core thesis: Indian deep-tech founders are uniquely positioned to deliver scalable impact and attractive returns,” said Vasu Guruswamy, co-founder and General Partner at Lavni Ventures. According to Lavni Ventures, Fund II will deploy Rs 2 crore to Rs 8 crore per opportunity at the Seed to Series A stage, and Rs 8 crore to Rs 15 crore for follow-on investments.
