Harmony Ventures
We provide equity capital to early-stage sustainability-themed startups in the Indian VC ecosystem
Equity Capital
Harmony Ventures, the venture capital arm of Harmony Lifestyles Group, provides equity capital to early-stage sustainability-themed startups based in India, across pre-seed to Series A rounds. We invest in passionate entrepreneurs with bold ideas across four sectors:
(i) Clean tech.
(ii) Climate tech.
(iii) Electric Vehicles (EVs).
(iv) ESG-aligned sectors (with a focus on Proptech).
Process
Our investment process involves:
(i) Initial discussion with startup founders to ensure mission alignment and product-market fit.
(ii) Legal and financial due diligence exercise [typically 2-3 months] with Harmony Investment Committee.
(iii) Initial investment and quarterly review discussions until startup exit or next round of financing [typically 3-4 years].
Mechanisms
Alongside our investments in the public markets (~60% allocation), we invest in the private markets (~40% allocation) in India via three mechanisms:
(i) invest directly in the startup [typically small cheque sizes in pre-seed or Series A startups].
(ii) invest through our VC fund [SEBI-registered AIF fund proposal under internal review].
(iii) invest in other VC funds [run by partners in the VC ecosystem].
