Venturi Partners, a Singapore-based investment firm focused on consumer-driven businesses in India and Southeast Asia, has announced the launch of its second fund, with a target corpus of $225-250 million. The firm, founded in 2020, has previously invested in several growth-stage startups such as Country Delight, Livspace, and K12 Techno.
The second fund will focus on high-growth sectors, including retail, education, healthcare, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), with continued emphasis on India and Southeast Asia. Venturi Partners aims to raise $130 million for the fund by the July-September quarter of 2025, leveraging strong support from existing investors.
In April 2022, Venturi raised $180 million from prominent European and Asian family offices for its first fund, which has since been deployed across seven consumer-focused companies spanning education, food and beverage, beauty, retail, and home interiors.
We take an active ownership approach with our portfolio companies, working closely with founders to unlock growth and scale their businesses. With this second fund, we are excited to continue partnering with ambitious entrepreneurs across the region.”

Venturi has been instrumental in funding notable Indian startups. In May 2024, it acquired a 5.12% stake in Bengaluru-based edtech startup K12 Techno Services Pvt. Ltd for ₹225 crore ($27 million) from Navneet Education Ltd. Additionally, in 2022, Gurugram-based grocery and milk delivery platform Country Delight secured $108 million in a Series D funding round led by Venturi and Singapore’s state-owned investment firm Temasek.
In February 2025, Venturi also invested $25 million in affordable footwear company JQR (Just Quick Run), acquiring a minority stake.
Market data from Tracxn indicates that 2024 saw a revival in late-stage funding in India, leading to large fundraising rounds in anticipation of IPOs. Mid-market deals also gained momentum, while seed and early-stage funding witnessed a slowdown. Analysts expect this trend to persist, with marquee firms preparing to go public in the near future.
