Tushar Jadhav

As founders of Manastu Space Technologies, we appreciate the support from Indian Angel Networks (IAN). As a deep-tech startup, we sought more than just financial investment. We needed strategic guidance and support to build a strong team and expand effectively. IAN has exceeded our expectations, offering not only financial backing but also invaluable mentorship.

Dr. Anasuya Roy

Akash Gupta

On our journey at Zypp Electric, gaining the backing of forward-thinking investors has been game-changing in our growth journey. I thank IAN Group, especially Padmaja Ruparel for believing in our vision, we've grown to be India's largest tech-enabled EV-as-a-service company. Their strategic direction and steadfast trust energize our dedication to reinventing India's largest sustainable last mile delivery platform, driving Zypp Electric into a future of boundless opportunities.

Tuhin Bhowmick
Co-founder, CEO, Pandorum Technologies

Tuhin Bhowmick

As a deep-tech, biotech startup working towards the development of a novel class of therapeutics that can treat unaddressed clinical needs, such as corneal blindness- Pandorum's path has been long, winding and difficult. What I find special about IAN is that irrespective of the full awareness of the challenges ahead, IAN has invested in us since an early stage of the journey, driven by the common cause of alleviating human suffering.

Tanuj Gigras
Co-founder and CEO, Nayam Innovations

Tanuj Gigras

For me and my co-founders, the motivation to startup and run Nayam Innovations was not only financial returns but also our desire to make a positive difference in the society. IAN Fund is one of the very few funds that shares that unique motivation of nation building and conviction in the potential of Biotech startup ecosystem in India.

Mr. Sanjay Nekkanti
Chief Executive Officer & Co-founder, Dhruva Space

Mr. Sanjay Nekkanti

IAN Group has been a cornerstone of Dhruva Space’s success, providing steadfast trust, invaluable guidance, and mentorship. While the Space industry is rightfully celebrated for its thrilling interplanetary missions and the potential of human spaceflight, its crucial role as a ‘hidden utility’ driving our daily lives and economy often goes unrecognised. IAN Group’s appreciation of the Space industry’s value underscores the impact of their support.

Lokendra Singh Ranawat

Avlesh Singh

I've completely admired IAN Group as a Fund, mostly because they are very seasoned professionals which provide very solid help on things that I don't understand very well ⁠— especially things around finance, legal... and I'll be forever grateful for all those things that have come in during the journey.
