Unilazer Ventures

Unilazer Ventures is the investment vehicle of Ronnie Screwvala, one of India's most respected entrepreneurs and the founder of UTV Group. The firm invests at Seed and Series A stages, with cheque sizes typically ranging from $500k to $5M, focusing on Consumer, D2C, FinTech, and HealthTech. What sets Unilazer apart is the value Ronnie personally brings beyond capital — deep brand-building instincts, a vast network across media, entertainment, and corporate India, and a genuine empathy for the founder journey having built and scaled businesses himself. Portfolio companies like upGrad and Ustraa reflect the firm's appetite for category-defining consumer businesses with strong brand DNA. Founders pitching to Unilazer should expect an engaged, hands-on relationship rather than a passive investor dynamic. The firm favors entrepreneurs who are building differentiated businesses with a clear path to scale, and who are not just chasing trends but are genuinely solving meaningful consumer needs. If you are an early-stage founder in a consumer-facing or digitally-enabled sector looking for a strategic partner with real operational credibility, Unilazer Ventures is worth a direct, well-prepared approach.
