About us
Capital-A is THE start-up for start-ups – a venture fund for seed to early stage meaningful start-ups. We are here for founders and co-founders who eat, sleep and drink their business. We’re always there to work alongside these passionate people, and not above them, to help them succeed. Our aspiration is to either lead the round, or be in the game as co-investors. Nothing less suffices. The fund is led by Ankit Kedia, former promoter of Manjushree Technopack Ltd., the largest manufacturers of rigid plastics packaging in the entire South Asia region. The company was divested to Advent International in 2018.

🌍 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🚀 The steady rise of 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 signals a new era of innovation, where advancements in AI, robotics, and quantum computing are creating solutions to today’s toughest challenges. Capital-A’s portfolio embodies this evolution: oorja's AI/ML for predictive battery analysis, robotics and Nano Factory solutions for flexible manufacturing at Leumas, Tan90’s PCM for energy-efficient temperature maintenance, Ellipsol's solar trackers boosting solar efficiency, and Entuple E-Mobility Private Limited’s advanced powertrain motors. In collaboration with Shubham Jhuria of Aeravti Ventures, Ankit K. shares insights on how DeepTech creates transformative solutions and opens doors to value creation worldwide. As we explore emerging sectors within DeepTech, we’re excited to see how they drive unique value, foster growth, and unlock unprecedented opportunities. 🌐 #CapitalA #DeepTech #AeravtiVentures #Innovation #AI #QuantumComputing #FutureTech #Investment #Technology
Tech of today was at some point of time considered as DeepTech. This evolution happens gradually, powered by visionary innovators and supportive investors who pave the way forward. Today, India stands in a unique position—not only to drive groundbreaking innovation and attract top talent but to do so at a significantly lower cost than in other markets. At Aeravti Ventures, we are continuously inspired by the innovation potential of the Indian founders and are thrilled to be at the forefront of it.

🌟 Reflecting on an incredible Pitchfest in Chennai! 🌟 We recently hosted an exciting Pitchfest for 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡, 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 start-ups, and the energy was electric! 🚀 The diversity of ideas and the level of innovation we witnessed is a true testament to how far the Indian start-up ecosystem has come. From AI-driven solutions to combat climate change 🌱 to revolutionary fintech platforms breaking down barriers to financial inclusion 💳, it’s clear that the 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐬 is being built right here, in India. What stood out to us the most was the 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 we interacted with. Their ability to tackle complex problems in DeepTech and climate innovation—once areas considered too niche or risky—shows the ecosystem’s maturity. What was once a nascent community now stands tall on the global stage, competing with the best in the world. 💡 As we continue to invest in and support these sectors, it's exciting to see the level of 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫-𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 that's solving real-world problems at scale. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our ecosystem partners StartupTN & DPurpose Foundation for being a great support in making this event a successful one. 🤝 To all the start-ups that pitched: congratulations on pushing the boundaries! 🌍💼 To the ecosystem: here's to even bigger things ahead! 🙌 #DeepTech #ClimateTech #Fintech #Startups #Innovation #Chennai #IndianStartups #VC

As we celebrate Dussehra and the triumph of good over evil, it’s easy to cast Ravana in the role of a villain. Though there are countless tales where he is depicted as a hero, one misdeed altered the course of his life, and he had to face the consequences of his actions. But this year, let’s pause and reflect on the lesser-known qualities of this complex character that can teach us valuable lessons in life and leadership! Swipe to discover the remarkable qualities of Ravana. #Dussehra #GoodOverEvil #RavanaQualities #LeadershipLessons #MythologyInspiration #RavanaReflection #LessonsFromRavana #LifeAndLeadership
