• ⚑ PRIVATE firm — no government/DFI/public-university linkage detected (clean). CAUTION: official website fluidvc.in returned HTTP 526 (Cloudflare origin error) on EVERY path via both WebFetch and curl, confirmed twice — site is currently DOWN/misconfigured, so no field could be verified at the source. The domain IS the genuine firm's (Google indexes /, /team/, /portfolio/ with matching content) — not parked, for-sale, or a look-alike. Email "[contact on file]" appears ONLY in third-party aggregators (superscout etc.) and could NOT be confirmed on the live official site — do NOT use; RocketReach/ZoomInfo "m***@fluidvc.in" patterns are scraper guesses — do NOT use. Name-collision note: "Fluid Ventures" is also used by unrelated entities abroad (e.g., a US/crypto investor) — the India D2C fund is the correct match here. Distinct from registered LLP "Fluidventures Partners LLP" on ZaubaCorp (likely the management/legal entity) — verify the exact legal name before any official correspondence.
