Solo GP Firms Expected to Rise in India as VC Market Deepens

Solo GP Firms Expected to Rise in India as VC Market Deepens

Imagine a venture capital firm, but instead of a team, it's run by just one person.

Nisarg Shah, with his firm Kettleborough VC, is one such 'solo GP.'

He's launching a new fund to invest in startups.

He believes more of these solo firms will pop up in India as the market grows.

Shah has already invested in many companies.

He likes to invest in companies with founders who have lots of experience.

His investments are in financial services, commerce, and software.

He plans to keep running his firm solo, as it allows him to connect deeply with the founders.

He has found that one potential issue is that it might not fit the expectations of some large investors in India, but it works for him.
