Overview

About

Unitus Seed Fund India II (SEBI Reg. IN/AIF2/17-18/0364) is a Category II AIF registered in September 2017 and managed by Capria Ventures Advisors LLP (formerly Unitus Ventures Advisors LLP). It is the second domestic India-domiciled fund in the Unitus Ventures series, a 2018-vintage early-stage venture capital fund focused on technology startups serving low and middle-income populations. The fund targeted 25–30 investments of ₹10–50 million each in seed and early-stage companies across fintech, edtech, healthtech, job-tech, and enterprise technology in India. Capria Ventures is an LP in the fund. In September 2023, Unitus Ventures merged with its US affiliate Capria Ventures to form a single combined entity operating under the Capria Ventures brand, with the Indian legal entity renamed from Unitus Ventures Advisors LLP to Capria Ventures Advisors LLP. The fund is reported as fully invested.

Investment Philosophy

Unitus Seed Fund India II was built on the thesis that technology-led entrepreneurship could address the needs of India's low-income masses at scale. The fund backed startups with disruptive, scalable solutions serving large underserved populations across healthcare, education, and fintech — combining impact objectives with venture-scale financial returns. Under Capria's umbrella, the broader strategy now encompasses applied GenAI, with the India team continuing to manage the legacy portfolio while driving Capria's India investment strategy.
