Investment thesis
Orios invests in innovators pursuing disruptive ideas in uncharted territory, targeting the India technology opportunity across consumer, enterprise, software and hardware. The firm typically makes 10-12 investments each year in startups addressing the Indian market. Its team blends entrepreneurs and operators who provide hands-on Managing Partner time to portfolio companies, helping with strategy, fundraising, hiring and senior introductions. Every company joins the firm's 'Founders for Founders' #Misfits program. Having invested since 2008 (formally as Orios from 2013), the firm counts three unicorns and several large outcomes among its results, and views AI as the next major wave of transformation for India.
