Transformationalcapital,forthebold.
We back visionary teams obsessed with expanding the frontier of human limits — from pre-seed conviction to enduring partnership.
A fund for India's hard frontier.
Samarthya Capital is an early-stage venture firm partnering with the boldest deep-tech founders in India. We write conviction cheques into pre-seed and seed rounds and stand alongside teams through every technical milestone and capital cycle.
We invest where physics meets policy — defence, space, robotics, AI infrastructure and clean industry — backing companies that take years to build and decades to matter.

Hard problems are getting funded again. We invest where deep science meets a buyer in defence, space, robotics, AI and clean industry.
Backing builders of hard things.
More than a check.
We write the first check, hold reserves through Series B, and lead pricing when it matters.
An open black book across IITs, IISc, iDEX, ISRO, the services and global LPs.
Hiring, GTM, regulatory and sovereign-customer access — we show up the day after.
What founders say.
Samarthya backed us before the first engine fired. They show up the day before a launch and the week after a setback.
They understand hard-tech timelines. We never had to translate physics into a quarterly target.
