• ⚑ none — private SEBI-registered Category II AIF; no government/DFI vehicle, no fraud or name-collision concerns. Note: capital-a.in is the firm's own domain and 301-redirects to the primary site capital-a.vc; the contact page lists the email as [contact on file] while the homepage/team/portfolio pages list [contact on file] (both firm-owned official domains). Minor: original record's flat "no exits" claim is contradicted by aggregator data reporting a Bambrew exit — corrected to "reported, confirm."
