Enlighten Angel Fund Rebrands to Enlighten Capital, Introduces Rs 200 Crore Micro VC Fund

Enlighten Angel Fund has rebranded as Enlighten Capital, signalling a new phase in its growth within India’s dynamic startup landscape. Along with the rebranding, the firm has unveiled its maiden Micro Venture Capital (VC) fund of Rs 200 crore, which includes a Rs 100 crore greenshoe option, providing additional flexibility for investment.

This move follows the fund’s recent SEBI approval to operate as an Alternate Investment Fund (AIF). Enlighten Capital aims to focus on emerging technologies and disruptive startups, in alignment with India’s vision for sustainable innovation and growth. The fund, led by seasoned industry professionals Koushik Shekar and Arvind Subramaniam, plans to provide institutional support to entrepreneurs building scalable and impactful solutions.

Over the past two years, Enlighten Angel Fund successfully syndicated over 10 investments, building a strong reputation for identifying high-potential startups. The rebranding to Enlighten Capital positions the firm to play a more prominent role in nurturing India’s entrepreneurial spirit.

“We believe in the transformative power of startups to shape the future of India. Through Enlighten Capital, we are committed to creating a positive impact by backing founders who are building solutions that matter,” said Koushik Shekar, Managing Partner at Enlighten Capital.

With its new direction, Enlighten Capital is well-positioned to support the next generation of startups in India.
