Venture capital firm Pavestone VC has marked the final close of its Pavestone Technology Fund at Rs 816 crore (around $97 million). The total corpus of the fund is Rs 816 crore, surpassing its initial target of Rs 600 crore. The corpus was increased twice through the greenshoe option to accommodate investor interest. The fund saw participation from The Self-Reliant India (SRI) Fund, the family office of Mankind Pharma promoters, and Colruyt Group India. Earlier in June, the maiden fund secured Rs 15 crore (around $1.8 million) from Colruyt Group India. Through this tech fund, Pavestone is looking to invest in 14-15 growth-stage B2B technology companies with an average cheque size of $5-10 million. Founded in 2021 by Sridhar Rampalli, Srikanth Tanikella and Laxmikanth V, Pavestone VC primarily makes its bet on growth-stage startups across deeptech and enterprise tech sectors via its maiden fund Pavestone Technology Fund. The Hyderabad-based vc firm counts E42, NewSpace Research & Technologies, LivNSense and Bellatrix Aerospace among its portfolio companies.

Transition VC closes Fund I at Rs 700 Cr

Transition VC has announced the final close of its debut fund at Rs 700 crore (approximately $77 million), overshooting its initial target of Rs 400 crore. The fund is backed by a community of institutional investors, corporates, family offices, strategic partners, and industry leaders. According to Transition VC, this LP network gives the firm a meaningful edge, strengthening thesis development, sharpening its ability to identify emerging trends early, and deepening the quality of deal flow. For founders, this LP network acts as a real commercial accelerator by converting pilots into purchase orders, opening doors to domestic and global markets, and directly shaping adoption pathways. Transition VC plans to invest at the post-product, pre-PMF stage, while strategically constructing a portfolio in which companies are complementary rather than competitive. By doing so, the firm enables founders to share insights, supply chains, and talent across the portfolio. To date, Transition VC claims to have supported 17 startups through Fund I, targeting a final portfolio of up to 25 companies. The firm has backed companies such as CIMware, Comminent, Matel, EMO, Hydgen, Dynolt, and Promethean. It says that more than half of the fund has been committed, and the firm is looking to deploy the remaining capital into founders building high-conviction solutions across the energy transition spectrum. Co-founded by Raiyaan Shingati and Mohammed Shoeb Al, Transition VC is an energy-transition-focused venture capital fund that invests early, catalytic capital into the future of energy in India, backing engineering-led companies building the infrastructure for the transition via electrification, energy storage, industrial decarbonisation, alternate fuels, and next-generation manufacturing.
