Inflexor Ventures, one of India’s foremost technology-focused venture capital firms, marks a significant milestone as it completes 10 years of enabling visionary founders and advancing innovation across the country. What began as a conviction-driven effort by the operators-turned-investors has today evolved into a platform that has shaped some of India’s most resilient and category-defining technology companies.
Founded in 2015 by Venkat Vallabhaneni and Jatin Desai, and strengthened by Pratip Mazumdar during Fund II, Inflexor’s journey is rooted in decades of entrepreneurial, investment, and global technology experience. This foundation allowed the team to build a differentiated investment philosophy centered on technology, defensible IP, and long-term, values-driven partnerships with founders. Over the years, this approach has led to early backing of companies that are now rewriting the future of their industries, including Atomberg, Kale Logistics, Bellatrix Aerospace, PlayShifu, CredFlow, BioPrime AgriSolutions, NoPo Nanotechnologies, and many others.
Speaking on the milestone, Venkat Vallabhaneni, Managing Partner, said, “A decade ago, we witnessed the early signs of India’s transformation focused on Science, Engineering and Technology (S.E.T.). What we see today is founders building globally competitive solutions from India. We are excited to back audacious founders who transform industries through technology. Their grit, curiosity, and ambition continue to inspire us, and our commitment for the next decade is to double down on backing this new wave of technology builders.”
Over the last ten years, Inflexor has steadily expanded its footprint across digital infrastructure, AI, enterprise tech, climate and sustainability, space tech, agritech, consumer technology, and life sciences. With over INR 1000 crore in assets under management across funds and 27 investments, and 14 successful exits, the firm has built a strong reputation for identifying breakthrough technologies early and supporting founders from seed to scale.
Reflecting on the firm’s evolution, Jatin Desai, Managing Partner, added, “Inflexor was built on the belief that India would emerge as a powerhouse of technology-led platform solving. We’ve seen that belief validated repeatedly over the last decade. Our strength has always come from blending our operating backgrounds with disciplined fund management and a deep understanding of technology. The next decade for India belongs to entrepreneurs solving complex, global challenges, and we aim to be their most trusted partners.”
Inflexor’s portfolio strength and strategic approach also led to the creation of its Opportunities Fund in 2024, enabling long-term value creation for high-performing companies as they scale globally.
Pratip Mazumdar, Partner, shared, “What sets India apart today is the depth of technical talent and the maturity with which founders approach scaling complex products. Over the next decade, technology-led value creation will move far beyond software into sectors like biotechnology, advanced materials, manufacturing, and climate innovation. We’re excited to support this shift and back founders who are shaping the next era of India’s technological leadership.”
Inflexor’s growth story is also shaped by the rise of leaders from within. Founding team members Harsha Mundhada and Murali Krishna Gunturu were elevated to Partners in 2025, reflecting the firm’s focus on building enduring institutional capability. Their expertise now anchors critical focus areas, including biotechnology, enterprise SaaS, climate tech, AI, consumer tech, space tech, and industrial innovation.
As Inflexor prepares for its next chapter with the ongoing fundraise of Inflexor Fund III, focused on technology-led Pre-Series A and Series A investments, the firm remains anchored in its mission to empower exceptional founders who are building solutions with lasting global impact.
The next decade for Inflexor Ventures will be defined by scale, deeper technology bets, and a renewed commitment to nurturing the ambitious, the inventive, and the relentless, those who are transforming India into a global centre of innovation
