Chennai-based Anicut Capital, an alternative asset management firm, has launched a new fund called Grand Anicut Seed Fund (GASF) with a target corpus of ₹175 crore.

GASF aims to invest in over 20 startups, ranging from pre-e to Series A stage, across deep-tech, enterprise-tech, consumer, and financial services sectors.
