Investors from the early-stage angel network JIIF have invested in a Rs 350 crore fund by Atomic Capital, a newly launched consumer-focused venture capital firm. JIIF-affiliated angel investors alone contributed Rs 26.5 crore to the fund. According to JIIF, this is the largest collective bet by JIIF’s investors in the consumer VC space, underscoring rising conviction in India’s next wave of consumption, driven by digital-first brands, regional demand, and wellness-oriented products. Commenting on the investment, Jeenendra Bhandari, Chairman of JIIF, said, “It is a proud moment to see JIIF members backing Atomic Capital’s first fund. Their investment aligns with our broader thesis of supporting category-defining, purpose-led startups. India’s consumer opportunity is massive, and Atomic’s operating model is well positioned to unlock enduring brand value.” Atomic Capital operates with an “Operating VC” approach, offering not just capital but also hands-on support in brand building, growth marketing, supply chain optimization, and leadership hiring. In FY25, JIIF’s investor base deployed over Rs 60 crore across more than 20 startups spanning fintech, healthtech, AI, logistics, and consumer. The network now supports a portfolio of over 150 companies. Mumbai-based Atomic Capital, an early-stage VC firm founded in 2024 by Apoorv Gautam, combines strategic depth with on-ground execution.
