The new fund will support 10-15 high-growth startups in Series A and B rounds, focusing on “winners” from its previous fund and secondary market opportunities. LC Nueva Investment Partners, a collaboration between Singapore’s Lighthouse Canton and Delhi NCR-based Nueva Capital, aims to invest in companies that have shown improved operating performance and are considered high-conviction investments.

In the broader venture capital landscape, early-stage firm Capital A has launched its Fund II with a target of Rs 400 crore, while z21 Ventures recently achieved the first close of its $40 million Fund II at $20 million.

Aroa Venture Partners has received Rs 40 crore ($4.8 million) capital commitment from Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) under the Government of India’s Fund of Funds for Startups and the Uttar Pradesh Government’s UP Startup Fund schemes.

Aroa Venture has also roped in Sekhar Puli as a general and managing partner. Puli is a veteran entrepreneur who sold REAN Cloud to Hitachi Vantara in 2018. He was also an investor at America’s private equity firm BV Investment Partners. Founded in 2020 by Gaurav Gulati, Aroa Venture Partners invests in early and growth-stage investments across sectors. In its initial days, Aroa Ventures was sponsored by RACo Holding Company —a firm owned by Oyo’s founder Ritesh Agarwal. The investment firm has already deployed Rs 100 crore across 36 startups including CRED, MPL, and Magicpin. The Aroa is a Category-II AIF which claims to have commitments from family offices and institutions exceeding Rs 400 crore ($48 million).
