About this record

⚑ PE (Category II) — growth-stage private equity, not startup VC. Official domain fulcrumpe.com is cited by third-party investor databases and its office address matches the SEBI registry, but the site does not currently resolve/serve (DNS failure / connection refused), so live status unconfirmed.

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.
