Equirus Launches ₹1,500 Crore Fund — With a Clear Rule: No Loss-Making Startups
mint·Saturday, 27 June 2026
Equirus is raising a ₹1,500 crore fund and has explicitly decided to avoid loss-making startups, focusing instead on businesses that are already generating profits. The launch comes as India's startup funding market grows more selective, with early-stage capital holding up better than late-stage money.
Why It Matters
This signals a real shift in how serious investors are thinking about startups — the era of funding big losses in hopes of future growth is fading, and founders need to show a clearer path to profit.
