01 / The platform
One continuum, different capital
IIMA Ventures, formerly CIIE.CO and IIMA-CIIE, combines incubation, acceleration and pre-seed/seed investing. Its current investment page describes balance-sheet capital at the earliest stages and separately incubated venture funds for early growth. It is not one conventional institutional LP fund with a single interchangeable corpus.
Seed cheques: an April 2026 leadership interview describes investments of up to $500,000, using equity, convertible notes and grants where appropriate. The older, undated manager page still gives a typical $100,000-$150,000 seed range. The dated ceiling is not a promise that every startup receives that amount.
SIDBI deep-tech initiative: the 2023 announcement identifies a ₹40 crore pre-seed accelerator corpus, with ₹20 crore each from SIDBI and CIIE. Jaivel Aerospace: the 2025 aerospace and defence initiative uses the partners' balance sheets, explicitly not an AIF, with 8-10 startups and up to $400,000 per venture. These are separate initiatives, not amounts added to a new generic fund.
Incubated funds: Infuse, Bharat Innovation/Bharat Inclusion and GradCapital are distinct vehicles or platforms. This page labels the historical Infuse portfolio separately; it does not import the entire Bharat or GradCapital portfolios as IIMA direct investments. Bharat Innovation Fund has its own Funding Now page. The 2018 Bharat Inclusion launch split catalytic programme support from the separately constituted seed fund, despite a broad $25 million headline.
Programme support is not automatically an equity financing: current Bharat Inclusion terms describe financial support, milestone-based tranches, expected 3-5% mentoring equity and non-guaranteed additional seed funding. Showcase appearances and incubation alone are not counted as direct capital rounds.

Explore by sector
275 public company lineages: 257 after reconciling all 274 named manager tiles, plus 18 additional company relationships from financing announcements and qualified history. The separately displayed GradCapital platform is not counted as a startup company. This is not 275 current holdings or an exhaustive census of every historical investment.
The manager page says its collection contains ventures where it provided capital and holds a stake, but newer interviews identify exits among companies still displayed. Exit and vehicle notes below take precedence over a blanket current-holdings claim. Nine added Infuse companies and overlapping Infuse entries are labelled as that distinct fund, not IIMA balance-sheet cheques.
Categories follow company products. Autonomous aircraft and satellites are Space Tech; robots and industrial autonomy are Physical AI; new materials, battery and energy systems are Energy & Materials; clinical devices and biological processes are BioTech; semiconductor architectures and crystal-growth substrates are Semiconductors. Ordinary business software, project development, finance, retail, education and service delivery stay Others. Every counted company appears in the gallery, with sectors ordered by company count and Others last.
Alias lineages include Kaarigar Mandi/Shoegaro, SuperZop/Khetika and PehchanPe/MAKSPay. Parvata Foods/Organics share a brand and destination and are combined for display without asserting identical legal entities. Proklean is not Proviera. The SNL/InnoFarms identity conflict is retained rather than silently linking a different current product. Dead, repurposed or unrelated domains use company or manager evidence pages instead. Authentic marks are used where verified; unavailable or identity-conflicted marks use explicit name labels.

Vaibhav Vashishtha
AVP - Portfolio
Portfolio role; included as investment-involved, not presented as a seed deal lead.
LinkedIn profile ↗ · Manager role ↗Reviewed 2 November 2026 using current manager roles and individually opened personal LinkedIn pages. Named manager portraits are used. Nineteen personal photographs were visually compared with the manager images. Soniya's personal photograph differs from the named manager image; Supriya's profile has no personal photograph to compare, so neither is described as a confirmed photo match. Seed-and-acceleration titles are retained, not promoted to partner titles or universal cheque authority. Vaibhav's portfolio role is identified separately. Governance-only, incubation-only, programme, insights and shared-services roles are not relabelled as current seed deal contacts. Kunal Upadhyay's co-founder and board role is preserved in the platform history rather than assumed to be a current seed mandate.
