Elevar Equity

Our mission is to fuel the economic resilience and vibrancy of underserved customers and households, and the communities they live in. Having spent a significant time with our customer segment, we have a deep understanding of their aspirations, priorities, and challenges, as well as their incomes, spends, and borrowings. Combined with an uncompromising analysis, we translate this understanding into concrete investment insights that are the basis of our investing in “deep in the weeds”, solution-oriented entrepreneurs. We call this human centered capital.

Elevar’s investments have democratized access to products and services that are essential for household growth. Our companies have reached over 50 million households and catalyzed billions of dollars of capital in ~50 companies.

From a time when ‘entrepreneurship’ was not celebrated in India, it has now become the driving force behind the country’s economic growth, fueling aspirations in vibrant districts like Cuttack and Belgaum. India has reaped significant benefits from the spirit of entrepreneurial households. With Elevar Equity's Podcast on Industrious Communities, explore this evolution and why the traditional lens of income fails to capture the economic power of these households. For entrepreneurs, understanding this bottom-up perspective could open up a world of possibilities and opportunities. 

Sidin Sunny Vadukut highlights the transformation in Cuttack. He showcases the story of CureBay's founder and his passion for addressing one of the many aspirations of the underserved customer i.e. access to high-quality and affordable primary healthcare. 

The insights shared by the pioneer of Samunnati in the Belgaum episode are nothing short of inspiring. You’ll get a glimpse of how the company is removing friction from the entire agriculture supply chain. Sidin Sunny Vadukut's conversation with a Director of a Farmer Producer Organization (FPO) sheds light on why Belgaum is the perfect hub for future entrepreneurs. 

Finally; no episode is complete without valuable insights into what our partners look for in an entrepreneur. Hear from Sandeep Farias, Jyotsna Krishnan, and Vipul Rawal on all facets of entrepreneurship.

Access to quality primary healthcare in proximity and at affordable prices is a pronounced pain point for households across India, particularly in rural India.

Our shared understanding of the underserved segment has been a phenomenal partnership.
