01 / The manager
A network, an angel fund, distinct exposures
FAAD is a sector-agnostic Indian investment platform. Its current website describes a SEBI-registered Category I angel fund and deal-by-deal syndication through an investor community. The platform's history, private early-stage investments, accelerator relationships, investment-platform stakes and Pre-IPO exposures are not all assumed to be assets of one fund.
Vehicle and cheque range: December 2022 reporting records SEBI approval to launch a ₹300 crore Category I AIF, with planned $100,000-$500,000 cheques from pre-seed to Series A. July 2024 reporting repeats that fund-specific range. This is a dated framework, not evidence of a final close, current available cash or a commitment to every applicant. The earlier network range was wider. December 2024 reporting describes $100,000-$1 million for FAAD while also referring to the fund, conflicting with the narrower 2022 and July 2024 figures. The latest official FAQ gives no cheque range, so the card labels the narrower dated framework rather than claiming current terms.
Scale: the current homepage reports 130+ startups, ₹150 crore+ invested, 6,000+ investors and 15 exits. The portfolio page says 120+ but displays 128 named tiles. These manager-level headlines differ in scope and date; neither is a verified current holdings count. The roster below preserves all 128 named tiles plus four supported additions, while counting CloudWorx and its AutoCode product once.
Earlier history and separate funds: the platform began in 2015 and launched its angel network in 2019, before the 2022 AIF approval. BYT Capital shares founders but is a separate deep-tech fund, already covered separately on this site. BYT's entire portfolio and corpus are not attributed to FAAD.

Explore by company product
132 public company relationships: all 128 current manager tiles, plus Sisir Radar, Invisel, VedaFit Foods and historical CareerNinja / LearnTube. AutoCode is CloudWorx Technologies' product, not a second investment. This is not 132 current early-stage fund holdings, nor a complete legal holdings census. Exact scheme, continuing ownership and exit status are not established by a manager tile.
Company products steer these categories, not manager group headings. The manager data places groceries, Swiggy and investment services in misleading group keys. Satellites, propulsion and autonomous aerial systems are Space Tech; defence and hazardous-environment robots plus medical-monitoring devices are Physical AI; encryption silicon IP is Semiconductors; new energy, water and surface-material systems are Energy & Materials; insect-protein feed formulations are BioTech; model and digital-twin infrastructure are AI & Compute. Ordinary software applications, retail, clinics, vehicle services, financing, media and food stay Others. No quantum holding was verified.
Manager Pre-IPO labels retain their historical meaning, not a current unlisted-status claim. Solitaire's authentic mark binds NeuFresh's former Drugs & Pharma name, Metropolitan is the stock exchange, and Lark Ai is Larkai Healthcare. The current site identifies GenStaq's acquisition by RevRag. Native Roots is founder-bound millet foods, not the unrelated cashew or skincare businesses. VedaFit and Native Roots remain separately named because July 2024 reporting and the August manager announcement differ. Unverified aggregator-only HyugaLife is excluded. Authentic source marks are used where readable; an explicit name label replaces an unavailable mark. Every counted company appears in the complete gallery, ordered by sector count with Others last.

LinkedIn profile ↗ · Role record ↗Reviewed 2 November 2026 against current manager roles and individually opened personal profiles; actual portraits compared visually. Five investing-involved roles retain their seniority, not equal cheque authority. Abhilash's work includes investment strategy, deal execution and exits, not a claim he is an investment partner. Sanyam's current investment-analyst role is supported by the manager's July 2026 anniversary and his current personal profile, although absent from the website's nine-person team. His genuine personal portrait is used. Shivani describes post-cheque portfolio operations and partnerships, so is not presented as a new-investment contact. Vansh's current profile and October post describe compliance/IR work despite the older site title; he is excluded. Rhidhima, Aadya and Anurag have investor-relations functions and are excluded. No outreach is implied.
