Yali Capital closes maiden deeptech fund at Rs 893 Cr Venture capital firm Yali Capital has closed its maiden deeptech focused fund at Rs 893 crore (about $103.2 million). Yali Capital had launched the early stage fund at Rs 810 crore in July last year to back startups operating in the deeptech sector. The fund intends to invest in startups across chip design, robotics, genomics, smart manufacturing, aerospace, and AI sectors, Yali Capital said in a press release. The VC firm has raised capital from corporates such as Infosys, Qualcomm Ventures, the DPIIT Fund of Funds for Startups, and Evolvence, among others. Additionally, TVS Capital founder Gopal Srinivasan, Rare Enterprises chief executive Utpal Sheth, and JM Financial’s managing director Vishal Kampani are among its notable investors.
