Growth-stage focus, backing capital-efficient businesses rather than high-burn scale-at-all-costs models. 39+ companies invested to date including Digit Insurance, Sugar Cosmetics, and Atomberg Technologies. Founding team's prior Sequoia India experience gives it a strong network for later-round syndication.
A91 Partners is a Mumbai-based growth equity firm founded in 2018 by VT Bharadwaj, Abhay Pandey, and Gautam Mago — all former Sequoia Capital India executives. The firm backs capital-efficient, growth-oriented Indian businesses across consumer, technology, financial services, and healthcare, positioning itself as an investment partner rather than a pure capital provider, with an explicit "commitments, not bets" philosophy.
Why A91 Partners?
Founding partners are all former Sequoia Capital India executives, bringing an established growth-stage playbook to a standalone fund. Explicit "capital-efficient over blitzscale" investment philosophy, distinct from funds chasing the largest possible rounds. Rapidly scaled from $350M to $665M across just three funds in six years.
