Venturi Partners Launches $225 Million Second Fund to Fuel Disruptive Consumer Brands in India and Southeast Asia

Venturi Partners, a leading growth-stage consumer-focused
investor in India and Southeast Asia, has announced the launch of its second fund, targeting $225
million, with a hard cap of $250 million. Building on the success of its first fund, the new fund will
continue to focus on Venturi’s core strategy of backing consumer brands that are disrupting their
sectors and creating innovative products and services tailored for the evolving Asian consumer.

The second fund will target high-growth sectors such as retail, education, healthcare, and fast-moving
consumer goods (FMCG), with a continued focus on India and Southeast Asia. Venturi is aiming for a
first close by Q2 CY2025, with visibility towards $130 million, backed by continued strong support
from existing investors.

In April 2022, Venturi had raised $180 million from prominent families in Europe & Asia. Venturi’s
first fund has invested in seven high-growth consumer companies across various sectors such as
education, F&B subscription, beauty & personal care, retail, and home interiors. Its existing portfolio
includes Livspace, Country Delight, Believe, Pickup Coffee, DALI, K-12 Techno and JQR.
Nicholas Cator, Founder of Venturi Partners, says “Our investment philosophy remains unchanged,
backing brands that create meaningful change and deliver innovative solutions to consumers. We
take an active ownership approach with our portfolio companies, working closely with founders to
help unlock growth and scale their businesses. With this second fund, we are excited to continue
partnering with ambitious entrepreneurs across the region”.

Venturi’s unique hands-on approach is centred around working closely with management teams to
scale operations and create lasting value. The firm’s expertise in identifying and scaling consumer
businesses has made it a trusted partner for founders in India and Southeast Asia.
