Its first fund has invested in 7 high-growth consumer startups across various sectors such as education, F&B subscription, beauty & personal care, retail, and home interiors. Its existing portfolio includes Livspace, Country Delight, Believe, Pickup Coffee, DALI, K-12 Techno and JQR.

"Our investment philosophy remains unchanged, backing brands that create meaningful change and deliver innovative solutions to consumers. We take an active ownership approach with our portfolio companies, working closely with founders to help unlock growth and scale their businesses. With this second fund, we are excited to continue partnering with ambitious entrepreneurs across the region," said Nicholas Cator, Founder of Venturi Partners. 

Venturi Partners was established in 2020 to invest in consumer-facing businesses across India and Southeast Asia. The firm investment platform is also designed to bring together families that share a long-term vision of nurturing innovative consumer brands.

By working hand in hand with founders, it aims to create sustainable value for both investors and communities in this high-potential market.
