Fundamentum Partnership, backed by Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani, has launched Fundamentum Frontier Advisors (F2A), a new investment platform targeting AI-native and deeptech startups. The platform aims to raise a ₹2,000 crore corpus, with ₹1,000 crore allocated for an offshore investment vehicle, to build a portfolio of 12-15 startups. Nilekani serves as the anchor investor in Fund III, which F2A will manage. The initiative aligns with the growing investor enthusiasm for deeptech and AI in India, where larger funding checks are being written for sustainable, long-term technology-driven businesses. Ashish Kumar, co-founder of Fundamentum, emphasized the firm’s disciplined, long-term approach, citing past investments in companies like Spinny, FarEye, and GenieMode. To strengthen its AI and deeptech strategy, F2A has appointed Debraj Banerjee, former senior fund manager at Sidbi Venture Capital, as a general partner alongside Kumar. Banerjee highlighted India’s potential to develop globally relevant technology-led businesses, drawing parallels with adoption cycles in mature markets like the U.S. Founded in 2017, Fundamentum specializes in growth-stage investments for technology-driven companies operating in large, evolving markets. The new fund aims to continue this focus while expanding into frontier technologies, combining long-term vision with execution capabilities. The platform will operate from India, targeting both domestic and international investors.
