Backing Indian builders

Why Indobase, Nomos, Akadi — and quieter operators like Garp and Adral — sit at the center of my book.

India’s best companies are still built by people who live inside the problem. I look for founders who ship, sell, and stay close to the customer — not financial engineering dressed up as product.

Indobase

Indobase sits where infrastructure meets product. I like businesses that make other builders faster. When the pick-and-shovel works, the whole ecosystem compounds.

Nomos

Nomos is a sharp product bet: taste, timing, and a market that still feels under-served. Early companies look messy. What matters is whether the core loop is honest.

Akadi

Akadi is a technology build with a clear build-and-own mindset. I invest where technical depth and commercial focus travel together.

Garp and Adral sit in the same operator-led bucket — quieter companies, fewer slides, more execution. The through-line is simple: back people who build.
