Conviction-first
We back founders with deep, independent belief in a thesis or concept over external signals like market consensus or hype.
We help founders build a strong foundation for their venture and make them ready for scale and venture capital with a program fully customised to your stage, your gaps, and your goals.
Capital is just one aspect of the program. We combine funding with the structured support to build foundations that scale.
Everything we do is outcome-driven. Built around execution, measurable progress, and practical support that creates real momentum.
We select early-stage startups from the 3 sectors that Caret Capital invests in and where our ecosystem can add significant value.
Our Mission
To raise the power of entrepreneurs, enabling them to create 10 million jobs and achieve 10% annual efficiency in India's Supply Chain and Distribution to unlock $1 trillion in economic value.
We back founders with deep, independent belief in a thesis or concept over external signals like market consensus or hype.
There's a program. But it bends to you. Every engagement is shaped by your stage, your sector, and where you're actually stuck — not a fixed curriculum.
We work with a small set of founders. That's intentional. Fewer companies means more depth and more time — from people with real skin in the game.
We're investors who work alongside founders. Investor perspective + deep-engaged mentorship + access to our ecosystem — all in one program.
Not a networking event. Not a workshop series. A deliberate, milestone-driven journey — from early conviction to repeatable, scalable growth.
The Program
Customised to your stage, your gaps, and your goals.
Startups who graduate successfully from the program receive ₹1 Cr investment from Caret. Being part of the Caret family significantly increases your chances of receiving follow-on investment from Caret Capital.
We only accept startups relevant to the Caret Capital investment thesis and who the fund would like to invest in at the appropriate stage.A structured, milestone-driven program. Customised per founder.

In start-ups, where things change fast and the struggle is real, mentorship matters. In my experience, mentorship from Caret in the last 2-3 years has equipped me with perspective and thus the mindset to navigate the twists and turns.
Founder Voices - Celcius
Mentors bring valuable connections to investors, other mentors, and customers. For me, their guidance has been a bridge to opportunities I wouldn't have reached alone.

Caret believed in us before most others did. They've been our loudest cheerleaders and most approachable mentors — the kind of founder-first partners every early-stage startup needs.
Founder Voices - Eximple
Having Caret Capital as our first believers has been a masterclass in itself; few understand cross-border logistics with such depth. Grateful to have one of the sharpest teams in the VC ecosystem by our side from day one, shaping how we think and build.
