About
Dholakia Ventures is an early-stage Indian venture capital firm launched in 2020 and based in Surat, Gujarat, investing pre-seed to Series A with typical checks of $100k–$1M and a co-investment model. It is led by founder Dravya Dholakia, with Nitin Savaliya as partner and a small investment team (Dixita Jariwala, Viraj Shah, Nishant Batra, Mayank Lakdawala). It also runs a syndicate/"young venture club" via AngelList enabling founders, operators and angels to co-invest alongside the fund. The legal entity (Dholakia Ventures Private Limited, CIN U74999GJ2020PTC117697, registered directors Dravya Savjibhai Dholakia and Pintu Tulsibhai Dholakia) is a non-government private company; MCA records note it as converted to LLP, while the brand continues to operate actively.

About this record
- ⚑ Category mismatch: hinted as "Angel network" but it is primarily an early-stage VC fund (runs a syndicate alongside). HQ is in Gujarat, not Uttar Pradesh. Name-proximity caution: founder Dravya Dholakia is associated with the Surat "Dholakia" diamond/jewellery business (Hari Krishna Exports / Kisna / Dholakia Lab Grown Diamond) — Dholakia Ventures is a separate private VC entity (CIN U74999GJ2020PTC117697), no government/DFI/public-university linkage found. Published email is a pitch-submission inbox ([contact on file]) rather than a general/IR address. Minor structural note: MCA/ZaubaCorp lists the registered entity status as "Converted to LLP" and tiny registered paid-up capital (Rs. 1 lakh); no formal AUM/fund size is officially disclosed — confirm fund vehicle/commitment if relevant.
