About this record
- ⚑ PRIVATE firm confirmed — fund manager is a Private Limited Company (Omnivore Capital Management Advisors Pvt Ltd, CIN U74120DL2011PTC273887, ROC Delhi, SEBI-registered AIF). Heavily DFI/development-finance backed at the LP level (IFC, KfW, FMO, Proparco, BIO, BII, DFC, SIFEM, DGGF, Self Reliant India Fund, Gates Foundation) — normal for an impact VC and does NOT make it a government vehicle, but note this given any public-vehicle screen. MINOR REGULATORY NOTE: Omnivore India settled with SEBI in June 2025 over a delay in winding up an older VCF (administrative/procedural, not fraud). HQ CORRECTION: original record's "Mumbai 400070" is the operating office; the fund manager's ROC-registered office is in New Delhi (Nehru Place). Name-collision caution: an unrelated read-it-later app 'Omnivore' (omnivore.app) exists — do not confuse with this VC.
