About

Z47 is a Bengaluru-based early-to-growth-stage Indian venture capital firm, founded in 2006 as Matrix Partners India and rebranded to "Z47" in 2024 after splitting from US-based Matrix Partners. It invests from seed to growth stage across fintech, consumer, SaaS/AI and B2B commerce, positioning itself as a founder/operator-led firm (official tagline "Founders First. Developed Nation Building."; the name references India's 2047 developed-nation goal). Founder and Managing Partner is Avnish Bajaj (co-founded with Rishi Navani); other senior leaders have included Vikram Vaidyanathan, Rajinder Balaraman and Rajat Agarwal.

Team & organisation

Rebrand: formerly "Matrix Partners India" (rebranded to Z47 in 2024 after splitting from US Matrix Partners) — name-collision risk with the unrelated US firm "Matrix Partners"; directories/profiles still index under "matrix-partners-india" slugs. Private VC (clean — no government/DFI/university linkage identified). Note: 2025-2026 reports indicate Z47 has pursued secondary stake sales in several portfolio companies and seen senior MD departures. Official site blocks automated fetch (HTTP 403), so addresses/AUM could not be read verbatim from the site itself; AUM independently confirmed via an official Z47 press release.
