How We Got Here
In 2011, we started backing founders from our own pockets. Not as a fund. Not with a thesis.
We did it as founders ourselves, people who had been through the chaos of building a startup from zero and believed deeply that India was at the beginning of something historic. We wanted to do everything in our power to help the next generation of founders achieve their dreams. Backing them before anyone else did isn’t a tagline. It’s how we started.
The word “startup” hadn't yet entered national parlance.
The founders we backed early were building in categories that didn't have names yet. Fintech infrastructure. On-demand services. Hyperlocal logistics. We didn't invest because the markets were obvious. We invested because the founders were exceptional.
Over 15 years, Titan Capital has backed 300+ companies and 650+ founders.
The scale has changed but the instinct hasn't - back the founder first, and the rest tends to follow. Some became Indicorns. Some became Unicorns. Many are still building. And the ones that didn't make it taught us as much as the ones that did.
Today, Titan Capital is more than a venture capital fund.
We're a community. A network of founders who have already solved the problem you're facing. An expert bench. People who answer the phone. The cheque is just the beginning; the relationship is everything after.
15 Years of Showing Up
The First Cheque
A founder stopped Kunal on his way out of a conference to show him what he was building: a way to book a reliable cab without standing on the street. Ola became our first investment.
