Investment thesis
TDV Partners backs Indian founders at the earliest possible point, often at day zero with no product or revenue required, aiming to be the first institutional believer behind companies building India's next trillion in value. The firm works closely with founders through early operations, hiring, go-to-market, customer acquisition and future fundraising. Its focus areas are consumer tech (tech-led products for everyday consumer needs), consumer upgrade (products for India's rising aspirations), and consumer AI (AI products that boost personal productivity).
