Navya Naveli Nanda announces Naveli Ventures to back India's frontier founders
The firm will invest through direct startup investments, institutional funds, co-investments, and academic and IP partnerships. Naveli Ventures will not define itself by sector, but by the scale of the problem being tackled and the conviction of the people solving it.
Navya Naveli Nanda, daughter of Nikhil Nanda and granddaughter of actor Amitabh Bachchan, has unveiled Naveli Ventures, a strategic venture arm of the Nanda Family Office. The new entity aims to support India's frontier founders across various sectors, including deeptech, space, clean energy, AI, advanced manufacturing, and health.
Naveli Ventures will employ a diverse range of investment methods, such as direct startup investments, institutional funds, co-investments, and academic and IP partnerships. The firm's approach is not defined by sector but by the magnitude of the problem and the confidence in the individuals addressing it. Navya Nanda, co-founder of women-centric healthcare platform Aara Health and non-profit organization Project Naveli, explained that the venture arm can leverage relationships across various sectors to support its partners.
In her words, "We are not chasing quick returns but looking to help build enduring companies alongside exceptional people for India's future."
