About this record
- ⚑ Ownership: Eight Roads is the in-house investment platform of Fidelity International — a private VC (not government/DFI), which is acceptable. Note it formally separated from Fidelity International in 2019 while retaining Fidelity financial backing. Tends toward growth/late-stage rather than pure early/seed VC. HQ is global (Boston) though it maintains substantial, long-standing India offices. Email caution: a general '[contact on file]' surfaced in a third-party summary could NOT be confirmed on the official contact page — only [contact on file] is published, so info@ is rejected. No name-collision or fraud concerns.
