Summary
Aum Ventures raises Rs 225 Cr first close for new deeptech fund gives Indian hard-tech founders a larger backer focused on longer cycles and more capital-intensive categories.
Why it matters
The fund's scope — space, semiconductors, AI, defence, and advanced manufacturing — is a good read on where institutional capital still sees scarcity and defensibility.
Founder/operator read
If you are raising in deeptech, expect diligence on engineering milestones, supply-chain access, and time-to-revenue; narrative alone won't close the round.
