A venture capital firm actively investing in and advising early stage startups in India, with the goal of strengthening the startup ecosystem to contribute to India's economic growth.

Mars Shot Ventures

Mars Shot is an Angel fund spearheaded by Harshil & Shashank - founders of Razorpay. We invest in early-stage startups. We believe that for India to be a $10Tn economy, we need the startup ecosystem to increase its impact manifolds.

We are a group of experienced operators and entrepreneurs that have gone through the journey of building a unicorn from nothing. Our team has experience across product, design, sales, marketing, finance, operations and strategy.

🪄Catalyzing the startup ecosystem once city at a time.
🙌 We co-hosted startup conclave along with RazorpayX and Supersourcing  for early stage founders in Indore. The sessions included:
💡Insights from the Razorpay journey and the playbook for scaling startups sustainably by Ayush Bansal 
💰 The art of fundraising and what makes a great pitch by Arjit Johri 
😎 The enthusiasm and drive of the founders from Indore have left a mark on us and we will be back soon.

We along with M Venture Partners (MVP), Carta This Week in Fintech are hosting an intimate gathering of Fintech folks in Bengaluru.
We look forward to seeing many of you on the 26th of June!

Last Wednesday, we had the pleasure of hosting an intimate gathering in Mumbai along with DeVC  🌉 
Bringing together a stellar group of founders and top operator angels of India 🤝
Besides the usual conversations on 📈 growth, 🗒️ exchanging notes and 
🚀 fundraising, we overheard some fun discussions about:
> IPL finals 🏏 || No one got it right.
> The rise of pickleball in India 🏓 || Should we host the next one over Pickleball?

Thanks to all the founders and operator angels who graced us with their presence. Big shoutout to the OG Martian 👽 Rahul Mathur for leading this.

📢 We're thrilled to announce that our portfolio Ultrahuman has raised $35Mn as a part of its #SeriesB round. This investment comes from existing investors and believers: Blume Ventures, Nexus Venture Partners, Steadview Capital and Alpha Wave Global. 
Key Highlights are below:

🏭 The Bengaluru-based UltraFactory is set to expand 7x in the next few quarters. Deep research on biosensors will help Ultrahuman launch the next level of gold-standard wearables. 

💍 Ultrahuman is now the 2nd largest player in the Ring market globally. The Ultrahuman Ring Air is getting much love across the world.

🆕 Ultrahuman has unlocked new research on the link between their metabolic score and inflammation. There are more layers to this which could enable a first-of-its-kind 360-degree evaluation/tracking. 

🤑 Ultrahuman is now profitable and could be IPO-ready by 2025.

👏Big congratulations to Mohit Kumar, Vatsal Singhal and the entire team at Ultrahuman for keeping the rocket ship going beyond boundaries.
