About A91 Partners
Background and context for founders evaluating this investor.
A91 Partners is one of India's most respected growth-stage venture funds, built by a team with deep roots in the Indian startup ecosystem from their prior tenures at top-tier global firms including Sequoia Capital. The firm backs founders who have demonstrated product-market fit and are entering a phase of accelerated scaling, typically deploying cheques in the range of ten to seventy-five million dollars across Series A to Series B and beyond. A91 takes a sector-agnostic but thesis-driven approach, with strong conviction across consumer brands, SaaS, FinTech, HealthTech, and B2B businesses. Their portfolio reflects a preference for companies with durable unit economics and the potential to become market leaders in large Indian addressable markets. Founders working with A91 often highlight the team's operational depth and their ability to add value beyond capital, particularly in areas like talent, strategic partnerships, and preparing businesses for later-stage institutional rounds. Given their background, A91 is well-networked across the broader Indian and global investor ecosystem, which can be meaningful for follow-on fundraising. If your company is post-Series A or approaching a Series B and operates in one of their core verticals, A91 is a highly relevant conversation to pursue.
