MountTech Growth Fund (MGF), a SEBI Registered Category II AIF, has launched its inaugural fund, MGF-Kavachh, focusing on startups in frontier technologies aligned with India's strategic sectors.

Founders' thesis is built on these meta trends:
-         Multipolarity and geopolitical shifts.
-         Disruptive tech advancements.
-         Positive long-term policy and economic outlook for India.

India's growth narrative is compelling. By 2030, its GDP is set to double to US$7 trillion, driven by structural reforms, policy improvements, and demographic advantages. The path for sustainable growth has been laid by rapid advances in physical and digital infrastructure, energy transition, financialization, and a robust start-up ecosystem.

Amid evolving geopolitical challenges, India must swiftly build moats to protect its aspirations. Rapid local innovation and indigenization of critical technologies are essential, particularly in strategic sectors.

MGF believes this presents a unique opportunity to foster innovation and secure India's growth, while delivering exceptional returns to investors.

Stronger India, Safer World

Credibility, Diligence, Frugal, and India-first

It looks for smart, technically brilliant, passionate, and resilient founders who are committed to building products and services in the Fund’s sectors of interest that have growing and attractive revenue opportunities, have multi-industry applications and potentially appeal to both Indian and global markets. 

The Fund primarily invests in early to growth-stage companies that pass through its thesis filters. It prefers to lead or co-lead rounds, or co-invest with reputable, value-adding partners only.

MGF-Kavachh's focused investment thesis, credibility, subject matter expertise, and curated BASE and NODE platform uniquely position it as the preferred choice for founders, co-investors, institutions, and ecosystem players

The MGF Kavachh Fellowship is an initiative designed to nurturing young talent interested in building careers in technology, business, and finance. Fellows collaborate closely with MGF's Investment team, enhancing their strategic thinking, research, communication, networking, deal evaluation, and operational skills through live projects.
