Swadharma Source Ventures

The firm lists a Managing Partner and a Partner on its website, though it does not publicly disclose the names of these individuals. Investment decisions are made under the umbrella of The Sahu Group's family office, reflecting a concentrated governance structure.

SSV sources deal flow primarily through its pitch@ssv.fund channel and by leveraging The Sahu Group's operating businesses and entrepreneurial network. Its syndicate of co-investing family offices and entrepreneurs further widens its sourcing reach across India, SEA, and the US.

SSV is the single-family office of The Sahu Group and deploys patient, long-term capital. It functions like an early-stage venture investor by writing checks at pre-seed and seed, but it also runs an external syndicate — a hybrid model that differs from traditional, closed family offices.

The family office's website highlights direct investments in private companies and startups at the pre-seed and seed stages, alongside public markets and fixed-income allocations. Fund commitments are not explicitly detailed, but the firm's primary private-market activity centers on direct deals and syndicated co-investments.

SSV's average cheque size is between $100,000 and $150,000 in pre-seed and seed rounds (per the firm). The exact allocation depends on the round size, and the firm can also help founders access additional capital through its syndicate network.

The capital derives from The Sahu Group, a conglomerate founded in 1969. The group has over 50 years of experience operating businesses in Hospitality, Automotive, Real Estate, Financial Services, and FMCG (per the firm website).

SSV actively facilitates co-investment by running a syndicate of other entrepreneurs and family offices. This posture allows founders to access a broader network of supporters, though the firm does not publicly detail arrangements with institutional GPs.
