Marwari Catalysts unveils Rs 4,000 Cr Impact Fund Backed by over 150 co-investors, family offices and 200+ global mentors, the initiative coincides with MCats’ expansion into Dubai and Singapore. Marwari Catalysts (MCats), a Jodhpur-based startup accelerator, has announced plans to build a Rs 4,000 crore ($500 million) impact-focused portfolio by 2027. “We believe valuations shouldn’t eclipse values,” said Sushil Sharma, founder of Marwari Catalysts. “This fund is our blueprint for a more resilient and inclusive India. Success isn’t just about unicorns; it’s about building companies that improve lives and create lasting social change.” Since inception, MCats has invested in more than 100 early-stage ventures nationwide, generating over 5,000 jobs. Around 35% of its portfolio companies are led by women co-founders, with several key leadership roles also held by women. Through its investments and mentoring programmes, MCats aims to advance multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including quality education, gender equality, decent work and economic growth, sustainable cities and climate action.
