Nirvana Venture Advisors

Nirvana Venture Advisors is a Mumbai-based early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2011 by Amit Patni, Arihant Patni, and Rajan Mehra, backed by the Patni Family — promoters of one of India's top IT companies. The firm invests in early-stage and growth-stage companies in India's internet, mobile, and electronic payments markets, targeting entrepreneurs with compelling consumer insights and unique digital products addressing large market opportunities. Nirvana takes an active role as a business partner — contributing to strategy, team building, future financing, and providing marketing and operational expertise — with the goal of being the first institutional investor in best-in-class teams. The firm has raised approximately $40 million across two funds and maintains offices in Mumbai's BKC district.
