ValleyNXT Launches ₹400 Crore Deep-Tech Venture Fund for Early-Stage Startups
ValleyNXT Ventures has launched Bharat Breakthrough Fund-I, a new SEBI-registered venture capital fund. The fund will focus on early-stage startups working in deep-tech and technology-driven sectors, including space, defence, robotics, and AI. The fund aims to raise a base corpus of Rs 200 crore, with plans to expand it to Rs 400 crore. It will target seed to pre-Series A startups that have moved beyond initial validation but need support to scale.
Bharat Breakthrough Fund-I will operate under ValleyNXT's MIB framework—Mentorship, Investment, and Business Connects. This approach combines funding with hands-on guidance and market access to reduce early-stage failures. The leadership team includes Dr. Nikhil Agarwal, Dr. Madhu Vasepalli, Anand Saklecha, and Suresh Goyal. ValleyNXT has already evaluated over 5,000 deals and invested in more than 10 startups through its angel network and accelerator programmes. The fund's sectors of interest span space technology, defence, robotics, AI, machine learning, cybersecurity, biotech, sustainability, and consumer innovation.
Bharat Breakthrough Fund-I will back startups in the critical phase between validation and growth. The fund's structured approach aims to provide both capital and strategic support to emerging tech ventures. Further details on investments and portfolio companies can be found on ValleyNXT's official channels.
