Frequently asked questions
What does 'Contrarian Drishti' mean and how does it shape investment decisions?
'Drishti' is a Sanskrit word meaning sight, view, or focused perception — the firm's name translates roughly to 'contrarian vision.' In practice, this means the investment team actively seeks sectors, stages, or founder profiles that mainstream Indian venture capital is mispricing or ignoring. Rather than following the dominant thematic flows into, say, late-stage consumer lending or quick-commerce, the firm builds positions in overlooked areas where its non-consensus view can generate uncorrelated returns. The name functions as both a sourcing filter and a portfolio-construction principle.
