India
The pace of innovation will continue to accelerate in India … today, we are only seeing the beginning of the country’s potential.
The talent and drive of Indian entrepreneurs leaves no doubt that some of the world’s most successful enterprises will either be based in India, created by Indian-born entrepreneurs, and/or have major ties to the country. That’s why Battery has long been committed to investing in technology-driven companies run by exceptional Indian entrepreneurs and management teams.
Our Indian portfolio companies — which currently include TechProcess, Tejas Networks and Travelguru — benefit from the support and experience of the entire Battery partnership, worldwide. They also have access to our accomplished Advisory Board as well as our extended network of Indian entrepreneurs. The depth and breadth of our team and resources give emerging companies the tools and connections they need to scale quickly and efficiently.
Stage, sector and structure diversity
As a global, stage-independent fund, Battery partners with a broad range of entrepreneurs across stages, sectors and geographies. In India, we are currently most interested in the opportunity to partner with entrepreneurs at two stages:
- Early stage – range of INR 4.4 crores to 44 crores
(~USD 1 million to 10 million) - Growth stage – range of INR 44 crores to 132 crores
(~USD 10 million to 30 million)
Over time, we will likely become more active at the seed stage, as well in venture growth and private equity-type investments such as buyouts and rollups.
We are receptive to entrepreneurs with ideas that don’t fit squarely in the box. However, within Battery’s “power alley” of technology-driven businesses, we tend to focus on opportunities in the following sectors:
- Consumer finance
- Consumer Internet
- Mobile
- Software
- Tech-enabled services
- BPO / ITES
- Components, infrastructure and communications services
- Clean tech
