Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Equanimity Investments?
Rajesh Sehgal, the managing partner, leads the firm alongside partners Vivek Saxena and Shilpa Sehgal. The firm states that its partners bring diverse experience across investment management, operating experience, and process implementation. All three are named on the firm's website as the core decision-makers.
How does Equanimity source its deals?
Equanimity cites a proprietary framework called SPEED as central to its sourcing and evaluation process. The firm's partners, particularly Rajesh Sehgal, have deep angel-investing networks in India dating back to 2007. Its portfolio is built primarily through direct relationships within India's startup ecosystem.
Does Equanimity invest in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Equanimity appears to deploy capital exclusively through direct equity investments in early-stage Indian startups. There is no public evidence of the firm participating as a limited partner in external funds or running a fund-of-funds strategy. It has operated sequentially through its own venture vehicles: Bold Vintage Fund I and New Horizons Fund II.
What investment stages does Equanimity target?
The firm invests from seed through growth stages, with a core focus on early-stage Indian startups. Public holdings include seed-stage companies such as GrEL and Consint.ai, as well as later rounds like Neuron Energy, which raised additional capital from new and existing investors.
Which sectors does Equanimity explicitly avoid?
Equanimity does not publish a list of excluded sectors. Its disclosed portfolio tilts toward technology-enabled businesses in enterprise software, mobility, health-tech, fintech, and logistics, suggesting no mandatory negative screens beyond typical early-stage venture risk-return criteria.
How is the firm structured — is it a single-family office or a venture firm?
Equanimity is a venture capital firm, not a family office. It raises capital through third-party funds — sequentially Bold Vintage Fund I and New Horizons Fund II — and is run by three named general partners. The firm's public materials refer only to its institutional venture franchise, not to any single-family capital base.
What is Equanimity's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
There is no public evidence that Equanimity participates in co-investments alongside external general partners or club deals. Its investment model appears to rely on proprietary origination and direct deal execution through its own fund vehicles.
