About us
Sharrp Ventures is a multi-asset class investment firm with exposure across listed equities, unlisted companies, and private equity funds primarily in India and USA. The firm manages the proprietary capital of the Harsh Mariwala family – founding family of Marico Ltd, one of India’s most well respected FMCG companies with a market cap of ~$8.5Bn. On the unlisted side, Sharrp invests in consumer-focused businesses (FMCG and non-FMCG) and in select sub-segments in consumer tech, logistics/supply chain, and sustainability/climate change. If the investment is lead/co-lead the investment, Sharrp participates in the Series A/B raise but are happy to co-invest with other investors in much later stage rounds as well (Series C+ to pre IPO). The ticket size ranges from $1M to $3M. For non FMCG segments, Sharrp prefers to invest in later stage companies. With deep networks across the entrepreneurial ecosystem, Sharrp invests long-term patient capital and supports its portfolio companies through multiple stages of their growth and evolution. Sharrp is an early and consistent partner to gritty entrepreneurs who are building enduring companies including early investments in industry defining companies such as Nykaa and Mama Earth in India. We will bring more than just a cheque to the table. We understand that entrepreneurs need the independence to run their companies. We will nevertheless be available on a pull-basis to add value when needed. This might be in the form of benefiting from the network that we have built doing business over several years. In addition, we can provide operating and management expertise, particularly in the areas of overall strategy, marketing & distribution, team building & organization structure, business enabling HR practices, corporate governance and scaling the business.

While we mourn Ratan Tata's loss, we also celebrate the countless ways he inspired us. Let’s remember his legacy and continue to walk the path he paved for us—one that leads with heart and purpose. #india #leadership #legacy
It’s a rare privilege to have witnessed the legacy of someone as visionary as Ratan Tata. His passing leaves behind an immense void, not just in the corporate world but in the heart of the nation. I remember vividly, last year when he called me for a small dinner at the Chambers, along with just five individuals, to discuss how technology could propel India forward. Even though he was frail in health and apologized for not being able to stand to greet me, his passion and focus on creating a better future for India were palpable. It was truly inspiring to see how, even in his later years, his mind was fixated on making a meaningful impact. What he stood for—integrity, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to India—will continue to inspire us all. My deepest condolences to the Tata family—his remarkable life is one we will all continue to celebrate and remember. #leadership #legacy #RIP

We recently had the privilege of hosting an enthusiastic group of students from the Indian School of Business for a Venture Capital study trek, organised by their Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Club. The students, coming from diverse professional backgrounds, were eager to dive into the world of venture investing, and we had some great discussions on what makes the industry tick, from evaluating startups to understanding market dynamics. It was a pleasure partnering with ISB for this initiative. We are excited to see what these bright minds will achieve in the future and wish them the very best in their entrepreneurial and venture capital journeys!

During a recent fireside chat at ReTech Con, hosted by the Retailers Association of India (RAI) Association of India, Rishabh Mariwala, Managing Partner at Sharrp Ventures, shared key insights on consumer transformation and trends shaping the future of retail. Moderated by Dr. Hitesh Bhatt, here are three standout points from the session: 1. Modern Consumer Trends: Today’s consumers are driven by transparency, ethical practices, and a shift toward premium products. As consumer consciousness rises, brands must align with these values to remain competitive. 2. Data vs. Gut in Decision-Making: At the early stages of a venture, gut instinct often plays a crucial role. However, as businesses scale, data-driven decisions become increasingly important to ensure sustained growth and success. 3. Resilience and Innovation: For entrepreneurs, the journey involves navigating challenges and leveraging resilience. Rishabh highlighted the importance of embracing failures and continuously innovating, especially in high-growth sectors like snacking, pet food, and niche home care. These insights reflect how Sharrp Ventures continues to stay ahead of the curve, driving innovation in the ever-evolving retail space. #india #startups #future #investing #retail #growth #success

At Sharrp Ventures, we are proud to support Troovy’s mission to tackle a critical issue—children’s nutrition in India. It is concerning that even in affluent households, many children are not receiving the nutrition they need, and Troovy is taking a thoughtful approach to changing that. What stands out to us is how the founders, Aditya Mukherjee and Mansi Baranwal , have used their personal journey as parents to drive real impact. They are not just creating healthier food options but also rethinking how families approach nutrition. Their products, whether sauces or healthy munchies, are more than just items on a shelf—they are tools helping parents make better choices for their children. At Sharrp Ventures, we believe in backing entrepreneurs who combine innovation with purpose, and Troovy’s efforts in improving the way Indian families think about nutrition is exactly the kind of change we love to be a part of. We are excited to see how their vision unfolds and the positive change they continue to drive in children’s health. https://lnkd.in/dG38Qq4D #india #health #future #investing #growth #success
