About this record
- ⚑ Founding-year discrepancy: homepage explicitly says "Established 2010" while several third-party profiles (and "15 years" framing) say 2012 — confirm exact year. Originally an angel network (no conventional AUM), but it now ALSO runs a pooled VC fund (Hyderabad Angels Fund I, ~INR 150 cr AIF, launched 2024) — the earlier "not a pooled fund / no AUM" framing is outdated. Private body, no government/DFI linkage found. Third-party scraper sites (RocketReach, Tracxn, etc.) list contact data not used here.
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.
