Engineering for global markets
Exfinity invests in early-stage B2B companies across deep technology, AI-native software and platforms. Current themes include semiconductors, robotics, industrial systems, cybersecurity, digital infrastructure and specialized enterprise AI.
The live official FAQ quotes typical investments of $2M-$3M and reserves for follow-on rounds, with seed, pre-Series A and Series A entry. January 2026 Fund IV launch coverage describes an ₹850Cr target plus ₹250Cr greenshoe, ₹1,100Cr including the option. The launch and SEBI filing are not a final close or a claim that the full target has been raised.
Fund III closed in 2023 at a reported ₹500Cr. Fund II was a ₹300Cr vehicle closed in 2016; January 2026 reporting says it returned its initial committed capital. That does not mean every Fund II holding has been fully exited. Pixis was a partial exit with a retained stake.

The firm reports 40+ companies overall, so the public directory is not represented as its complete history. DTT sector groupings differ from the official themes.

LinkedIn profile ↗Four investing partners and three investment professionals. Official roles retained where LinkedIn headlines differ. Shailesh Ghorpade retains a managing-partner header on the site, but his current biography says semi-retirement and advisor/IC work, so he is not shown as a day-to-day investing contact. Chairman/IC-only, advisory, founding-sponsor, CFO, fundraising, investor-relations and portfolio-operations roles are kept out of the investing contact list.
