Interesting that Tiger Global is #1 and so focused on India

Well, for Tiger it makes sense. They are more late stage focused, so chances to get there is higher. (Same for Softbank)

While for others like Peak XV and Accel, a lot of their investments end up going from seed/Series A to unicorns, so that’s cooler

Innoven and Trifecta are venture debt funds though, not sure why they are on this list :p

Tiger is seriously screwed since the last year. Iirc they had a US + India focus (having previously made money in China - Alibaba etc) strategy, primarily in technology startups

Read some estimates that they lost 75% of their last 20 years gain in the last year crash (they had to do some exits as well). Crazy times

Does this list include VCs who invested in the round where it turned a unicorn.

Ideal list should be where investor came in before it became a unicorn

General Catalyst looking to acquire an Indian VC and invest more in India!

This is super interesting. They had a small footprint in India so far, but the move indicates another big gun coming into India in a serious way. After many VC exits and shutdowns, this one is a breath of fresh air.

By any chance d...
