Where Vision Meets Capital Where Vision Meets Capital Where Vision Meets Capital Where Vision Meets Capital

Our Story

Great companies are built on conviction, not consensus. For over a decade, Kae has been the first institutional capital for founders building the future of Indian commerce, finance, healthcare, and technology.

We’ve backed founders at their earliest stages, when belief matters as much as capital. Our approach is simple: find exceptional entrepreneurs solving large problems, invest early, and support them through every milestone.

More About Us

Sectors of Focus

We focus on sectors shaping India’s next phase of innovation, where technology builds enduring capability, not incremental change.

AI & Intelligent Automation

Intelligence is becoming infrastructure. We back founders building systems that learn, decide, and act; reshaping how businesses operate and how people experience technology.

Manufacturing & Industrialization

India’s next phase will be built on capability, not convenience. We invest in founders strengthening the country’s industrial, digital, and energy foundations; shaping durable growth for the long term.

Founder First, Always

A long-term approach shaped by experience across cycles of company building

"Having Kae Capital since the very start has been a sheer delight. Their guidance in helping us set our direction and sound operating practices have been a big blessing. While we continued to build our platform and promise a value proposition to our customers, their unwavering support, especially during tough times, helped us cut through the clutter and focus on our work."

Pranav Goel

Founder and CEO

"Kae Capital was one of our first investors and has been a partner since our inception. Sasha has always taken a people-first approach – always backing the entrepreneurs and believing that good entrepreneurs will create good businesses. While in the last 11 years, we have gone through various ups and downs, Kae has always supported us through business coaching, industry connections, and add-on capital."

Amrit Acharya

Co-Founder & CEO

"We started working with Sasha & Kae Capital back in 2011, at the very beginning of the first institutional fund. As an entrepreneur, I tremendously value having an investor like Sasha, who is always 100% supporting and backing us entrepreneurs through good times and tough times. Kae Capital is a long-term partner and constantly provides support to the company by opening its networks and helping out in connecting with investors, prospective hires and partners. I would be happy to work with Sasha & Kae Capital any day!"
