Mirae Asset Venture Investments (MAVI) India has raised ₹1,125 crore [1] during the first close of its second India-dedicated Opportunity Fund.
This capital injection signals a continued appetite for scaling Indian enterprises despite global economic shifts. By targeting companies in the growth stage, MAVI aims to bridge the gap between early-stage seed funding and late-stage maturity.
The fund, known as MAVOF II, has secured approximately $117 million [4] at this initial stage. MAVI intends to deploy these resources into high-growth Indian companies that are currently scaling their operations [1].
The firm is focusing its investment strategy on several key technology sectors. These include artificial intelligence, software, and deep tech [1]. MAVI is also targeting advanced manufacturing, and various consumer platforms [2].
This second fund follows previous efforts to establish a footprint in the Indian venture capital ecosystem. The focus on scaling-stage companies allows the firm to support businesses that have already proven their product-market fit but require significant capital to expand their reach [1].
While the first close provides an immediate pool of capital, venture funds often continue to raise additional commitments before reaching a final close. The current allocation emphasizes the firm's commitment to the Indian market's long-term digital transformation [3].

The launch of MAVOF II underscores a strategic pivot toward 'scaling' companies rather than early-stage startups. By prioritizing AI, deep tech, and advanced manufacturing, Mirae Asset is betting on India's transition from a service-oriented tech hub to a product-led innovation economy. This move suggests that institutional investors see significant untapped value in Indian firms that have moved past the proof-of-concept stage but still require aggressive funding to dominate their respective sectors.
