About this record

  • Operates under two names — "Avataar Venture Partners" and "Avataar Ventures" — but these are the same firm (not a collision). Private VC; no government/DFI/public-university linkage found. India-headquartered (Bangalore) with a US (Santa Clara) office. Growth-stage focus (Series B+) means it is NOT an early-seed VC — cheque sizes (~USD 10M-50M, targeting ~USD 10M+ ARR companies) skew toward later-stage growth equity, likely beyond most UP early-stage startups.

Compiled from public sources as of 2026-07. iHub India lists investors neutrally and does not endorse, rank, or verify investment terms — confirm all details directly with the investor before transacting.
