• ⚑ Rebrand: Unitus Ventures (India) combined with US affiliate Capria Ventures in 2023 and now operates as a single 'Capria Ventures' brand; legacy unitus.vc redirects to capria.vc. Multi-country firm with US (Seattle) and Mauritius entities in addition to India — HQ is effectively cross-border, not solely Indian. No published direct/personal email on the site (only [contact on file] and [contact on file] inboxes plus pitch/contact forms); do not use scraper-site personal emails. Private VC (impact-oriented): takes institutional/DFI LPs including IFC, Bill Gates family office and others, but is NOT itself a government/DFI-owned vehicle.
