Venture Portfolio

Studying the signals that become rounds.

I started in public markets, quantitative research and data infrastructure. My current work brings that discipline to venture: sourcing technology companies, studying emerging sectors, writing thesis notes and building data systems for discovery.

Notes

A working collection of venture research.

Description

Sourcing, company notes & sector theses that show how I find, frame and evaluate early-stage opportunities.

Early Discovery

Pre-seed companies found through non-obvious source trails: incubators, grants, universities and applied-research ecosystems.

Early Discovery Pre-seed

Cathion Energy

Battery process IP

Differentiator
Dry electrode coating process that could reduce energy use and capex intensity.
Why now
Indian cell plants are still early enough to adopt sticky process IP.

Early Discovery Pre-seed

Deepgrid Semi

Edge-AI silicon

Differentiator
Reusable low-cost chip architecture paired with perception software for Indian edge-autonomy use cases.
Why now
ADAS regulation, defence indigenisation and chip localisation are opening design-in windows.

Early Discovery Pre-seed

Proleri Technologies

Alternative protein / biomanufacturing

Differentiator
Patent-pending process for extracting functional RuBisCO from variable agricultural leaf waste.
Why now
Rising protein demand and whey volatility are pushing food companies toward local alternatives.

Early Discovery Pre-seed

CeraGen BioWorks

Advanced biomaterials

Differentiator
Founder-led formulation know-how from CSIR-CGCRI research on antibacterial bioactive glasses.
Why now
Bioactive glass is expanding into oral care, wound care and regenerative materials.

Public Markets

A performance page, built with attribution.

Description

Daily NAV from the tradebook, compared with NIFTY 50 and NIFTY Smallcap 250 through the latest available close. I take concentrated positions in underfollowed micro- and small-cap companies, often before consensus forms. The metrics below reflect that approach.

Portfolio line is a unitized NAV index. Buys and sells are treated as flows, so the line tracks performance rather than capital added or removed.

SignalGraph

A sourcing system for early Indian startup signals.

Description

SignalGraph collects dated public evidence, preserves the source trail and makes uncertainty visible. It helps an analyst find and review startup and applied-research leads; it does not replace diligence or decide whether to invest.

Startup discovery

Early-source evidence

Collects public signals from accelerators, incubators, grants, university programs, research parks and startup directories, preserving details such as cohort, sector, location and website. News adds context but does not qualify a lead on its own.

Analyst review

Transparent validation

Analysts can filter and shortlist candidates, trace source-backed profiles and timelines, record dispositions, notes and next actions, run website-enrichment updates, review changes and data-quality issues, and resolve likely duplicates.

Research discovery

Applied research leads

Surfaces India-affiliated research from OpenAlex and flags work with signs of commercial potential, giving analysts a focused queue for deeper review. Each lead should be validated before outreach.

Data disclaimer

SignalGraph relies on third-party public sources that may be incomplete, outdated, duplicated or incorrectly parsed. Outputs should be independently verified before use.

About / CV

Investment judgment first. Technology as leverage.

My public-markets edge is identifying opportunities before consensus forms, testing the thesis rigorously and holding with conviction while the evidence remains intact. I am now bringing that mindset to venture research, with data and technology adding rigor and leverage to the process.

Now

Transitioning to Venture

Mapping sectors, screening companies and turning public signals into structured diligence notes.
