Profile

Lavni Ventures is an impact-focused investment firm based in Bangalore, India, with offices in Pune, India, and Irving, Texas. The firm was founded in 2020 by General Partners Vasu Guruswamy, Sanjay Kanvinde, and Krishna Shivram, each bringing decades of experience across business operations, R&D, and the energy sector. This team structure provides a unique blend of global business insight, deep-tech sourcing, and domain expertise in energy and climate sectors.

Lavni Ventures invests primarily in early-stage, science-led deep-tech startups focused on health, climate, energy, and education. Their typical investment ranges from $225K to $1.7M, targeting seed through Series A rounds with follow-on funding options. With a fund size of approximately $21M for Fund II and an additional green-shoe option, Lavni supports a concentrated portfolio. The firm's notable LP is Quest Global, which provides strategic engineering partnerships alongside capital.

The firm's portfolio includes companies like Padcare, which specializes in menstrual pad recycling, and Monitra Health, known for its AI-powered cardiac monitoring platform. Additional investments are Vidcare Innovations, a portable diagnostics company; Medprime, a digital microscopy platform; and Learning Matters, an AI-based education technology company. These investments reflect Lavni's focus on impactful, innovation-driven startups in India's underserved deep-tech sector.
