Lavni Ventures

Lavni Ventures is an early-stage deep tech investor with teams in Bangalore and Pune, India, and Irving, Texas, that backs Indian startups building foundational technologies. Its thesis centres on health and climate, two sectors it sees as defining national progress, and it looks for technology-driven companies whose products can create measurable social and environmental impact. The firm aims to fill the funding gap that deep tech startups face between seed and Series A. It tracks impact against clear KPIs and screens founders for values alignment and the potential for long-term, trusted relationships. Lavni makes initial investments of roughly INR 2 to 8 crore at seed to Series A and follows on with INR 8 to 15 crore in Series A and Series B rounds. Its Fund II reached its INR 200 crore target in September 2026. Beyond capital it offers strategic and technical guidance, introductions to international markets to drive sales, and help raising later rounds.
