The Capital-A Thesis
At Capital-A, we believe India’s next VC supercycle will be powered by real economy startups — companies building in manufacturing, climate tech, deeptech, and industrial innovation.
While much of venture capital in India has focused on software and consumer tech, Capital-A backs the overlooked opportunity:
-
Founders solving for India's physical world.
-
From factories to supply chains, from sustainable infrastructure to core industrial systems — India’s economic backbone is being rebuilt. We invest in the entrepreneurs driving that transformation.
Why We Exist:
-
To fund manufacturing and industrial startups at Day 0, not just when they’re de-risked.
-
To bring real-world scale-up expertise from our roots in Manjushree, India’s largest packaging company.
-
To partner with founders building sustainable, scalable solutions in hardware, supply chain, clean energy, and climate tech.
-
To drive operational excellence, not just valuations.
Why Now?
India’s next VC wave will be defined by:
-
Production-linked incentives (PLIs)
-
A focus on Atmanirbhar Bharat
-
Government support for infrastructure, clean energy, and manufacturing scale-up
-
Global supply chain diversification favors India
At Capital-A, we’re positioned to lead this shift, funding the founders who will define India’s industrial future.
