About Avaana Capital

Avaana Capital is an early-stage venture firm in Mumbai that manages the $135 million Avaana Climate and Sustainability Fund, described as India's first and largest dedicated climate-tech fund. Founded in 2018 and led by Anjali Bansal, Swapna Gupta, and Shruti Srivastava, it backs startups using technology to build scalable answers to climate mitigation, adaptation, and India's path to net zero.

The fund concentrates on the three areas that account for around 90% of India's carbon emissions: energy and resource management, mobility and supply chains, and sustainable agriculture and food systems. Its investor base, which includes the Green Climate Fund, the US DFC, the UK Government, the SRI Fund, SIDBI, and the Azim Premji Trust, signals strong institutional confidence in the strategy, and its portfolio features names such as Eeki Foods, Aerem, Kazam, FarMart, Eggoz, and Turno.

Early-stage climate-tech and sustainability startups working on energy transition, clean mobility, sustainable agriculture, and resource efficiency are the natural fit, particularly founders after patient capital paired with deep climate-investing expertise and a peer network of climate companies. It is online at avaanacapital.com.
