About this record
- ⚑ Email caveat: no email is published on the firm's OWN official site (only a pitch form / "Connect with Us" CTA); an address [contact on file] appears ONLY on third-party listings (Justdial/ZaubaCorp), so it is NOT verified and was NOT output. HQ address is from third-party sources, not the official site. Multiple related LLP entities exist (Fireside Ventures Management LLP, etc.). Note: Fund IV LP list includes sovereign wealth funds (ADIA, ICD) as limited partners, but the GP/manager itself is a private VC firm — not a government/DFI/university-controlled vehicle. Otherwise clean.
Compiled from SEBI registrations and 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.
