Sharrp Ventures

Profile

Sharrp Ventures is a multi-asset class investment firm with exposure across listed equities, unlisted companies, and private equity funds primarily in India and USA. The firm manages the proprietary capital of the Harsh Mariwala family – founding family of Marico Ltd, one of India’s most well respected FMCG companies with a market cap of ~$8.5Bn.

On the unlisted side, Sharrp invests in consumer-focused businesses (FMCG and non-FMCG) and in select sub-segments in consumer tech, logistics/supply chain, and sustainability/climate change. If the investment is lead/co-lead the investment, Sharrp participates in the Series A/B raise but are happy to co-invest with other investors in much later stage rounds as well (Series C+ to pre IPO). The ticket size ranges from $1M to $3M. For non FMCG segments, Sharrp prefers to invest in later stage companies. With deep networks across the entrepreneurial ecosystem, Sharrp invests long-term patient capital and supports its portfolio companies through multiple stages of their growth and evolution. Sharrp is an early and consistent partner to gritty entrepreneurs who are building enduring companies including early investments in industry defining companies such as Nykaa and Mama Earth in India.

We will bring more than just a cheque to the table. We understand that entrepreneurs need the independence to run their companies. We will nevertheless be available on a pull-basis to add value when needed. This might be in the form of benefiting from the network that we have built doing business over several years. In addition, we can provide operating and management expertise, particularly in the areas of overall strategy, marketing & distribution, team building & organization structure, business enabling HR practices, corporate governance and scaling the business.
