The India Growth Fund is a premier strategic investment vehicle dedicated to backing visionary founders at the critical intersection of defence, deep-tech, and space exploration. As global supply chains permanently shift toward domestic production, the fund capitalizes on India's aggressive transition from an import-dependent nation to a global hub for indigenous R&D and manufacturing. Driven by the urgent imperatives of national security and technological self-reliance—and heavily accelerated by catalytic ecosystems like iDEX—the fund invests in the future-ready entrepreneurs building breakthrough sovereign technologies that will reduce import dependencies and shape India's strategic frontier.
