About Omnivore

Background and context for founders evaluating this investor.

Omnivore is India's pioneering agrifood and climate-focused impact venture firm, founded in 2010 in Mumbai by Mark Kahn and Jinesh Shah as the country's first dedicated agritech VC, Kahn having previously been EVP of Strategy and Business Development at Godrej Agrovet. Alongside partners Reihem Roy and Subhadeep Sanyal and an 18-person team, Omnivore backs early-stage founders building breakthrough technologies across farmer platforms, agri-fintech, precision agriculture, farm-to-consumer brands, post-harvest and supply-chain tech, and agrifood life sciences, investing across seed to Series A (occasionally Series B) in India and Southeast Asia. The firm has built roughly $700 million in cumulative AUM across three funds plus its Agritech & Climate Sustainability Fund. Its third fund reached a first close of $150 million in 2023 (launched April 2022), backed by a deep development-finance LP base including IFC, KfW, FMO, Proparco, SIFEM, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Louis Dreyfus Company Ventures and Yara Growth Ventures, and plans 25–30 new investments at initial cheques of roughly $1–5 million, with a sharper focus on life sciences and climate resilience. Across 57-plus investments and five exits, its portfolio includes DeHaat, climate-smart deeptech firm Ecozen, space-tech company Pixxel, dairy-tech firm Stellapps, carbon-removal startup Varaha and Tractor Junction, collectively touching over 12 million smallholder farmers.
