Chakra Growth Capital

Chakra India Growth Fund (IN/AIF1/23-24/1296) is a SEBI-registered Category I Alternative Investment Fund managed by the India investment management entity of Chakra Growth Capital — a global alternative investment platform backed by Rangarajan 'Sri' Purisai, Managing Director and Founder. Chakra Growth Capital evolved from RiSo Capital (founded 2019, Silicon Valley), Sri Purisai's early-stage India-focused VC that built a 20+ company portfolio including Zypp Electric, Spintly, Freightify, Crediwatch, Zvolv, IonEnergy, and Ambee. Chakra extends that platform into growth-stage investing — targeting asset-light, software-led, AI-driven enterprises in industrial automation, energy transition, mobility, and data infrastructure. The SEBI AIF provides the domestic fund vehicle for India-linked investments, operated from BHIVE Workspace, Koramangala, Bangalore. Chakra's selection rate is below 1% from reviewed opportunities.

Chakra Growth Capital invests in technologies that enable 'More with Less' — backing software-led, AI-driven enterprises that reindustrialise legacy markets and accelerate climate solutions. The fund operates a 'Venture Equity' structure combining venture-style upside with private equity-level discipline. Investment focus spans: (1) AI infrastructure, industrial automation, mobility, and energy systems; (2) data-centric software platforms enabling efficiency, electrification, and digital transformation of large traditional sectors; (3) asset-light, compounding-value business models that scale without capital intensity. Chakra backs founders at the 'validation to velocity' inflection point — post-PMF companies ready to move from ad hoc operations to scalable, repeatable systems. The team brings hands-on operating experience scaling businesses from USD 10M to USD 100M+, deploying deep operational partnership alongside capital. Geographic lens is global with strategic emphasis on India-linked innovation serving international markets.
