Elevation is India's leading venture fund with a >20Y history of investments
Elevation Capital is an India-focused venture capital firm with 190 investments and $2.6B+ in AUM. We have been investing in India since 2001, and our portfolio includes companies such as Paytm, MakeMyTrip, Swiggy, Meesho, Urban Company, Unacademy, Sharechat and NoBroker.
We focus deeply on Gaming and Content, and are proud partners to multiple category-defining companies. Gaming is at the forefront of content & social, and India specifically is at an inflection point as talent and demand come together. We follow a thesis-first approach and comprise a 6-member team dedicated to gaming across the early, growth and post-IPO stage.
Beyond continued interest in differentiated RMG plays, we are excited about four forward-looking themes in gaming.
Studio Plays
Studios with an ability to identify & create differentiated games in emerging, underserved genres for both Indian as well as global audiences.
Game Dev Infra
Infra that can ease game development & leverage Al as a lever to save developers cost and time.
Alt Distribution
Channels (e.g; virtual worlds, browser-first plays) that can emerge as alternate distribution platforms (beyond play store & app store) for games.
Gamer Engagement
Tooling & social plays for the large & growing base of gamers and gaming creators.
If you are actively building in these spaces or have exciting ideas in gaming, feel free to engage with our Gaming team to brainstorm your thoughts.
