In a strong signal to India’s burgeoning startup ecosystem, Titan Capital — co-founded by Snapdeal’s Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal — has announced the closure of its first external fund, the Winners Fund, at ₹333 crore, overshooting its original ₹200 crore target. With a portfolio of over 250 early-stage startups, Titan Capital has now positioned itself to offer crucial follow-on funding to high-potential Indian startups in tech-forward sectors.

Focus on Follow-on Funding for High-Performers

The Winners Fund is designed to invest in 20-25 high-performing startups from Titan’s existing portfolio, with an average cheque size of around ₹15 crore. The firm’s investment thesis centers around leveraging real data from its current holdings — including traction metrics and operational performance — to make informed reinvestment decisions. Startups like Convin, Beco, and Simplismart are among those already benefiting from this focused capital infusion.

The move is part of Titan’s broader strategy to back winners at scale and support them beyond seed funding, helping them achieve product-market fit and scale efficiently.

This ensures that capital doesn’t just flow in at the start but continues through key stages of growth.

Emphasis on Tech-Led, Scalable Businesses

Titan Capital plans to concentrate its new fund on tech-enabled, scalable businesses across sectors like AI, SaaS, D2C, fintech, and healthtech. The Winners Fund also represents a broader industry shift toward outcome-driven investing, where VC firms double down on startups that demonstrate market traction and product validation.

By focusing on follow-on investments, Titan ensures capital efficiency — limiting exposure to unproven bets while amplifying impact where the signals are strong. Their long-term involvement and deep integration with their portfolio companies make them more than financiers — they act as long-term strategic partners.

With the Titan Capital Winners Fund closing at ₹333 crore, the firm underscores its commitment to nurturing the Indian startup landscape by backing proven entrepreneurs through their scaling journey. This approach reflects a mature venture capital strategy—favoring insight, data, and conviction over hype.

As India continues to see record startup activity, such focused reinvestment strategies are likely to become key drivers of sustainable success.
