What Steadview Capital does

Steadview Capital is a global technology-focused hedge fund and alternative investment firm founded in 2009 and headquartered in London. The firm manages over $3 billion in assets under management across both public and private markets, employing an integrated public/private investing framework that allows it to back visionary founders across multiple stages of their companies' lifecycles. Steadview invests exclusively in founder-led technology businesses concentrated in two geographies — the United States and India — with embedded on-ground presence in San Francisco and Mumbai complementing its London headquarters and New York office. The firm is a founding member of IndiaTech.org, India's industry association for technology companies, and is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority through Steadview Capital UK LLP (FRN: 765318), with a US operating entity in Steadview Capital Management LLC. Leadership is anchored by founder and managing director Ravi Mehta, with Kalp Parekh as chief operating officer, Maneesh Menon as India Director, and Apoorv Agrawal as principal.

Steadview's core offering is growth capital and strategic partnership to founder-led portfolio companies spanning consumer internet, fintech, healthcare technology, logistics, advanced manufacturing, and renewable energy. The portfolio of 50+ private companies includes Indian category leaders such as Zomato, Nykaa, Policybazaar, Lenskart, Delhivery, Urban Company, Dixon, and CoinDCX, alongside US-based assets such as Precision Neuroscience (AI-enabled brain implant developer) and Innovaccer (healthcare data activation platform). Recent disclosed deal activity shows a particularly active 2025–2026 period, with participation in Zomato's $660 million pre-IPO round, anchor positions in Wakefit Innovations, Go Digit General Insurance, and Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions pre-IPO rounds, a co-led Series A in Ethereal Machines, and a seed round in Temple (founded by former Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal).

The firm's business model is investment management — generating returns through equity investments rather than product or service sales, with revenue derived from management and performance fees on its $3B+ AUM. A lean team of approximately 27 members executes a concentrated strategy of direct investment relationships with founders, sourced through local networks in target geographies. The firm is currently extending its platform through a planned maiden India-registered private equity fund, for which it intends to apply for a SEBI Category-II alternative investment fund licence, signalling a formal broadening of its India fundraising footprint beyond its existing global mandate.

Direct peers

• Coatue Management: Technology-focused long/short hedge fund that also writes private growth checks. Comparable to Steadview's integrated public/private approach and tech-only mandate, though with a heavier public-market orientation.
• Hillhouse Capital: Asia/tech-focused investment firm operating across public and private markets. Comparable to Steadview in its integrated framework and founder-led, long-duration thesis, particularly across Asia.
• DST Global: Global internet/tech-focused investment firm led by Yuri Milner. Comparable as a crossover investor backing founder-led technology companies across stages and geographies.
• Falcon Edge Capital: Multi-strategy fund with a strong India and tech focus, deploying capital across public and private markets. Comparable geographic and sector concentration to Steadview.
• Tiger Global Management: Tech-focused crossover/hedge fund with a large India footprint. Most directly comparable to Steadview in mandate (public + private tech), geography (US + India), and stage flexibility — co-invested with Steadview in Zomato's $660M round.

Broad incumbents

• General Atlantic: Large global growth equity firm with deep India and US tech exposure. Comparable as a long-duration capital provider to founder-led growth companies, though structured as a traditional growth-equity firm rather than a hedge fund.
• SoftBank Vision Fund: Mega-scale tech investor with significant India activity (Flipkart, Oyo, etc.). Comparable to Steadview's founder-led tech thesis at much larger check sizes; overlaps on Zomato-era Indian tech ecosystem.
• Point72 Asset Management: Multi-strategy fund with selective private investments alongside public-market strategies. Comparable integrated approach, though broader and not India-focused.

Emerging players

• Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia India): India-focused venture/growth firm that co-invested with Steadview in multiple deals (Ethereal Machines, Temple). Comparable founder-led India tech thesis, though structurally a VC/growth firm rather than a crossover fund.

Regional players

• ChrysCapital: India-focused private equity firm with founder-led growth mandates. Comparable as an India-anchored capital partner to high-growth companies, with greater focus on control/buyout than Steadview's minority growth style.
