Medial

US-based early-stage venture capital firm Expert DOJO has launched an India-dedicated startup cohort. As part of this accelerator program, the firm will invest $100,000 each in over 10 startups across sectors such as technology, AI, EV, B2B and more. According to Expert DOJO, the startups will not only receive capital but also get mentorship, growth support, and access to its global investor network. Applications for the cohort are now open for startups. This cohort is designed to help early-stage startups strengthen their business models, enter new markets, and move quickly toward raising their next funding round. The aim of this cohort is to support Indian founders facing challenges like limited access to global capital, lack of international mentorship, and restricted market reach. This launch follows Expert Dojo’s earlier announcement of a $15 million India-focused fund, with plans to deploy in 20–25 early-stage startups by FY26. While the fund is sector-agnostic, it will focus on high-potential areas like fintech, SaaS, B2B, and AI, helping founders scale beyond borders. With its latest upcoming cohort, Expert DOJO remains committed to helping startups with not just capital, but a structured path to global growth. By combining deep founder support with an active investor network and global market access, they continue to serve as a launchpad for the next generation of impactful, venture-backable companies.

DMI Alternatives closes $120 Mn capital for private credit fund DMI Alternatives has announced the closure of a $120 million raise for a corporate private credit fund focused on investing in performing and cash-flowing Indian companies. The raise underscores the growing demand for flexible credit capital among corporates in the world’s fastest-growing major economy, as businesses seek diversified financing beyond traditional channels. The strategy will be led by Harein Uppal. With this strategy, DMI Alternatives aims to provide bespoke financing solutions tailored to Indian companies well-positioned for sustainable growth. The fund maintains a focus on healthcare, technology, business services, manufacturing, and financial services sectors that benefit from secular tailwinds driving India’s economic expansion.

DMI Alternatives is an alternative asset management firm, managing investments across three core strategies: real estate (OKAS), Venture Capital (DMI Sparkle Fund), and Private Credit. The private credit strategy provides financing solutions to performing, cash-flowing Indian companies with strong fundamentals and sustainable growth trajectories. Focused on mid-market enterprises, it offers flexible capital through debt and hybrid structures.
