About this record

⚑ Website hint "orios.in" is NOT the firm's official domain; the correct official site is oriosvp.com. Two former managing partners (Anup Jain, Rajeev Suri) exited the firm; reporting (The Morning Context) noted a string of senior exits. Note: "GirnarSOFT" and "CarDekho" are the same entity (GirnarSOFT is CarDekho's parent), not two separate unicorns — original record double-counted them. Portfolio governance concerns reported at investee companies GoMechanic (founders admitted inflating revenue) and PharmEasy (financial stress / IPO withdrawn) — these are portfolio issues, not the firm itself. Otherwise a clean, private, SEBI-registered VC.
