Our co-founder Sumit Sinha was a panelist at Zinnov Confluence 2024, alongside Karthikeyan Natarajan, CEO, Cyient and Rajan Sethuraman, CEO, LatentView Analytics.

Addressing an audience of emerging tech services founders, he shared his views on scale up strategies for businesses aspiring to grow from $10M to $100M in revenues. He stressed on the importance of sharp focus and upfront investments in team, technology and go-to-market capabilities, even if those are at the expense of near term margins. So long as companies are pricing suitably and have strong gross margins, they can optimize overall profitability once they reach a larger scale.

At Filter Capital, we look forward to supporting visionary tech services entrepreneurs as they chart out their growth journey.

Many thanks to Zinnov, Sidhant R. and Anand Kalra for hosting us.

I recently participated in the Venture Intelligence PE-VC Conclave 2024 in Mumbai on their panel “Focus on Private Equity”. I shared thoughts on how we at Filter Capital advise our CEOs with an emphasis on long-term value creation:   

• 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐞𝐰: Encourage entrepreneurs to prioritize 1-2 critical growth initiatives and let go of others that are draining capital and bandwidth.
• "𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤" 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭: Actively engage with all portfolio companies, even those facing challenges, to help navigate growth strategies, and not just focus on "winners".
• 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐃𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: Rigorous "private equity" diligence exercise and stress-testing of business models that allows both sides to test whether there is a shared vision about the future and adds value even if we don’t end up investing.

Congratulations Venture Intelligence for organizing a successful event.

Thank you IIT Delhi Endowment Management Foundation, Akshat Vats and Ankita Rao for hosting me. I truly enjoyed the conversation. 

IIT Delhi was a truly transformative experience for me, and I still cherish every day of it.

We, at Filter Capital, are pleased to announce the final close of our inaugural fund, Filter Capital India Fund I, with a total corpus of Rs. 800 crore ($97 million). We welcome our newest investors HDFC Fund of Funds, HDFC AMC, and Oister Global to our existing LP base of domestic and overseas family offices, HNI's, and institutions. 

Our mandate at Filter Capital is to partner with India's tech entrepreneurs from inflection point to industry leadership. We target opportunities in SaaS and technology services where companies are expanding from India into regional and global markets, as well as technology-led businesses in consumer, financial, and business services, where companies are harnessing the special demographics spanning India consumers and businesses. We invest behind capable teams whose business models have demonstrated clear product-market fit, sound unit economics, and robust growth. Through our capital, networks, and expertise, we can help our portfolio companies scale and build enduring businesses.

We thank our colleagues, entrepreneurs, investors, and advisors as we reach this significant milestone for our firm.

I recently sat with Sandeep Sinha of Oister Global for the inaugural episode of their new series "Two GP's Walk Into a Bar." Sandeep and I each shared our experiences as fund managers identifying emerging niches in the Indian private market ecosystem (fund investing in the case of Oister Global, growth-stage tech investing in the case of Filter Capital), the value of partnership (huge shout out to our respective partners and co-founders Sumit Sinha and Rohit Bhayana), and the highs and lows of the entrepreneurial journey (we too are founders after all...).

Our co-founder Nitin Nayar, spoke at the TiE Delhi-NCR conference last week in a panel entitled “Beyond Valuations- Rethinking Startup Metrics” alongside Sandeep Sinha and David Wilton of Oister Global, Raghav Ramdev of ChrysCapital and Udai Dhawan of Affirma Capital. 

Nitin urged the entrepreneurs in the audience to think of and articulate a path to value creation from Day 1 in order to differentiate themselves from others and to make investors take notice.

Our co-founder Sumit Sinha, spoke at @BECon’24 organized by Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, his alma mater. He addressed an audience of budding entrepreneurs, and stressed on the importance of building companies that make a genuine impact in their ecosystems, focusing more on the “right” PMF (Product Market Fit), not the “wrong” one (Power, Money, Fame).

Our Co-founder and Managing Partner Sumit Sinha addressed the audience at a recent outreach event in Lucknow organised by Self Reliant India(SRI) Fund, managed by SBICAP Ventures Limited (a State Bank of India Group company). 

In his presentation, he outlined Filter Capital’s commitment to investing in MSMEs that leverage technology to build industry leadership. He also shared case studies of our portfolio companies partnering with government led platforms to drive efficiencies: 
 
Chalo working with 5 municipal corporations across the country to catalyse adoption of digital ticketing in daily transit buses
  
LoadShare Networks being one of the first logistics partners on ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce), providing access to its efficient delivery network to scores of small sellers on the platform
