India Tech Report

In-depth conversations with founders, investors, industry leaders, and other stakeholders building India’s deep tech and climate tech ecosystems.

Ganapathy ‘Gani’ Subramaniam, founding managing partner of Yali Capital, talks about the firm’s deep tech bets in India.

A peak into what’s perhaps India’s biggest deep-tech-only fund.
Coming up on Tuesday, Sep. 30th, in the next episode of IndiaTechReport: InConversation I catch up with Ganapathy Subramaniam (Gani) at Yali Capital in Part-1 of our two-part discussion on the venture capital firm’s bets in India’s deep tech ecosystem.

As many of you know, Yali’s founding partners, Gani and Mathew Cyriac, partner Karthikeyan Madathil and CFO Sunil S Patil bring formidable industry expertise to their investments – collectively over a century of experience in semiconductors, aerospace and of course VC and PE.

Their first fund of Rs. 893 crore (about $104 million), is perhaps India’s biggest deep-tech-only fund currently, backed by Marquee names like Qualcomm, India’s Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Infosys and Lip-Bu Tan, who’s an advisor to the fund.

In this conversation, we cover Yali’s approach to deep tech in India, which includes investing not only in early stage startups but also selectively some advanced late stage ventures. Gani also gives us a quick overview of what they’ve already done.
