The SEBI-registered Category II Alternative Investment Fund VentureSoul Partners, which specializes in structured lending solutions for new-economy businesses, has declared that its base fund target of Rs 300 crore has been reached.
Key Highlights
- VentureSoul Partners closes its maiden debt fund at ₹300 crore, with a greenshoe option of another ₹300 crore.
- The Category II AIF targets structured credit for new-economy firms, backed by anchor investor Micro Labs Ltd and other corporates.
As the fund continues to concentrate on development and structured financing opportunities throughout India's quickly changing new economy landscape, VentureSoul has indicated its green-shoe option. The Fund is still determined to assist in some way to Viksit Bharat.
In the new economic environment, VentureSoul Partners has executed 15 investments in a wide range of high-growth businesses since October 2024.
VentureSoul Partners will continue to accept additional subscriptions under the green-shoe option until February 2026, which is the intended final closing target, due to the increasing involvement of domestic family offices, HNIs, and institutional investors.

Anurag Tripathi, Ashish Gala, and Kunal Wadhwa co-founded VentureSoul in 2023 to offer venture-debt and structured financing solutions to businesses in the new economy. The company offers tailored funding appropriate for high-growth businesses by combining data-driven risk assessment with traditional banking credit discipline.
VentureSoul supports firms at Series A or later stages, especially in fintech, B2C, B2B, and SaaS, with a debut fund aiming for a corpus of Rs 600 crore (above 300 crore a greenshoe option). This helps entrepreneurs limit share dilution while fostering scalable growth. The fund is sector-neutral and seeks to be a value-based partner that helps India's upcoming generation of tech-enabled enterprises.
