Rethinking Risk: The New Strategy of Indian VCs

VC firms in India have been shifting their strategies, mirroring the cautious approach of private equity peers. The growth-at-any-cost mentality has faded post-2021. VCs are now focusing on startups with clear paths to profitability. Is this shift a temporary response to the funding winter, or a fundamental change in Indian venture investing? Are VCs now content with modest returns instead of high-risk, high-reward ventures? Apoorva Mittal speaks with Abhay Pandey of A91 Partners, Anand Lunia of India Quotient, and ET’s in-house VC expert Digbijay Misra to explore these questions.
