About Inuka Capital.
What makes Inuka different starts with its GPs. Gautam scaled Quora’s India growth solo, then joined Skillshare’s IPO-bound product team – mastering how products grow in complex markets. Raj bootstrapped and sold two startups, learning firsthand how to turn scarcity into advantage. Together, they’ve backed 50+ startups as angels, spotting outliers like Exotel before they became household names.
This fund is built for founders who share their obsession: building lean, high-impact companies that scale without burning capital. Inuka specializes in pre-seed bets where their operator instincts shine – helping teams nail monetization, design viral adoption loops, and unlock India’s unique distribution quirks. Their LP base (a who’s who of global operators) acts as a secret weapon, offering portfolio companies everything from gritty GTM advice to hard-won insights on navigating India’s regulatory maze.
Inuka’s sweet spot is clear: startups transforming India’s least digitized sectors through software. These aren’t copycat ideas – they’re original solutions for markets most investors ignore, built by founders who’ve seen the problems up close.

Inuka Capital bets on founders who see India’s gaps as opportunities. With GPs who’ve built, exited, and backed winners and an LP base that’s a who’s who of tech operators, the fund doesn’t just spot outliers; it helps them defy gravity.
