Fundamentum is launching a new $200 million third fund, creating fresh momentum for India’s AI and fintech startup ecosystem. The venture firm plans to use the fund to support ambitious companies building in high-growth technology sectors.
While Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani is leaving his general partner role, he will remain Fundamentum’s anchor investor. That continuity gives the firm a strong foundation as it expands its leadership team and prepares to back a new wave of startups.
Why this matters

- More capital for AI builders: The fund can help Indian AI startups scale faster.
- Stronger startup infrastructure: Experienced investors and operators can support founders beyond funding.
- Regional innovation boost: The announcement reinforces India’s growing role in global AI and fintech.
