Huddle Ventures

Huddle Ventures is an Indian early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2017 by Ishaan Khosla and Sanil Sachar, headquartered in Gurugram. The firm manages approximately $20 million in assets under management across two funds. Fund II launched in mid-2023 with an initial corpus of INR 100 crore (approximately $12 million), which was oversubscribed and aimed for a final close at INR 150 crore through a green shoe option. Huddle leads rounds at pre-seed and seed stages with an average entry check of $500,000 and follow-on investments up to $1 million per company. The firm invests across three main themes — climate, consumer, and commerce — and has backed approximately 57 companies with 65% of Fund I companies raising follow-on rounds and 3 partial exits within 36 months. Notable portfolio companies include Blue Tokai Coffee (India's fastest-growing specialty coffee brand, pre-Series A co-invested with Verlinvest and A91), Bold Care (men's health D2C brand), CureSkin (AI skincare, Series A with HealthQuad and JSW), Celcius (cold-chain logistics, Eurazeo and Omnivore co-investors), Cell Propulsion (electric mobility light commercial vehicles), Cumin Co. (health kitchenware, 2025 Seed co-invested with Fireside Ventures), Contrails.ai (Trust and Safety AI, 2025 Pre-Seed), and Asaya (D2C skincare, 2024 Seed). Huddle Ventures operates with a team of 25 people and brings a hyper-focused, founder-first approach to Indian consumer and climate investing. The partners work closely with founders across product, operations, and fundraising, positioning Huddle as an active partner through the earliest and most capital-constrained stages of company building.
