B2B technology, from seed to early growth
growX backs businesses using technology to solve business problems. Its current site says it is deploying Fund II across early-stage and early-growth B2B and DeepTech companies. The stated domains include semiconductors, defense, space, advanced manufacturing and alternative materials, alongside software, fintech, health and logistics. Earlier syndicates were broader and included consumer and conventional tech-enabled businesses; those historical holdings remain visible below.
At Fund II's December 2024 launch, reported cheque plans were up to INR 10 crore at seed and INR 20-30 crore at Series B, with a target corpus of INR 400 crore and 20-24 investments. These are dated announced terms, not a verified current available cheque or completed fund close. The current official site says investment amounts vary and does not give a numerical range. Its history distinguishes earlier angel/syndicate activity from regulated Fund I and Fund II vehicles.
The official investor page's return figures and projected IRR are manager claims, not independently verified performance, so they are not used as promises. A partial exit can coexist with a current holding: Pixxel remains active on its holding page despite being shown in the site's exit showcase. Historical cohort, fund participation, company operating status and realized cash returns are different facts.

49 unique company pages in the manager's current official portfolio sitemap, spanning Fund I, Fund II and earlier syndicates. This includes active, exited and archived listings, not 49 current Fund II holdings. DTT sectors describe technology; software, fintech and conventional tech-enabled businesses are kept in Others. Manager status labels are reproduced as published and do not independently establish company survival, full cash exits or realized returns.

Holding source ↗03 / Team & connect
Investment team
Six investing contacts, each with a direct personal LinkedIn check. Sahil's Vice President title follows the manager's July 2026 promotion, which is newer than the Associate title still on its People page. Manan Anand is excluded because that same update says he left to start his own company, consistent with his current personal profile. Manish's working personal profile replaces the broken older URL on the site. Sidd retains the official Venture Partner title, not a claim of full-time employment. Advisors, investor relations and brand staff are not included.

One named institution is supported here by primary public commitment evidence. Fund II launch coverage describes startup founders and existing/new LPs without naming them. Portfolio co-investors, customers, advisers and startup founders are not inferred to be LPs.

growX ventures Fund I
SIDBI's public commitments table lists growX ventures Fund I with INR 20 crore sanctioned against an INR 124 crore target corpus. A sanctioned commitment is not proof that the entire amount has been drawn down. The table's target corpus is not substituted for a reported final corpus or assumed to apply to Fund II.
