Palaash Ventures

Palaash Ventures is a sector-agnostic Indian venture capital firm founded in 2013 and headquartered in New Delhi, with additional presence in Bangalore. Founded by veterans of the media industry, the firm operates as Palaash Ventures Private Limited and backs founders with innovative, disruptive ideas that have the potential for high scalability, with a tilt toward software, technology, media and telecom, and consumer and enterprise applications. The firm is led by Founder and Managing Partner Piyush Goyal alongside Partners Tapesh Singhi and Annu Batra, forming a lean seven-person organization. Palaash writes seed and Series A checks and has historically deployed within a roughly USD 5 million cumulative envelope over three-year windows, consistent with a concentrated family-office-style strategy. Over approximately 13 years, the firm has made 19 investments, averaging one new deal per year, with the portfolio concentrated in consumer (6 companies) and enterprise applications (6 companies). Notable portfolio companies include Security and Intelligence Services (SIS, which reached public markets via IPO), Silver Push, Pickrr, Doxper, Voxapp, Ecosense, Safe Harvest Private Limited, Travelkhana, and Teewe. The firm has recorded one IPO and three acquisitions, with the most recent exit being Pickrr Technologies, acquired by Shiprocket in June 2022. Palaash Ventures applies its media-industry background to identifying consumer and enterprise companies with strong brand and distribution potential. The firm's long-duration outlook and concentrated portfolio allow it to remain closely engaged with founders across their full company-building journey from early traction through exit.
