Dual
Mandate

Investments and philanthropy deployed as a unified, compounding strategy.

Full
Transfer

Every asset — portfolio and cash — gifted to the next e-board. The mission never resets.

Zero
Dilution

Discipline over urgency. Rigor over sentiment. Informational edge over market noise.

Our Mandate

Two Lines of
Deployment.

SCIA Impact Fund deploys capital across two strategies simultaneously — equity investments into high-potential Indian startups, and strategic grants into mission-aligned nonprofits. Not separate programs. A unified mandate.

Investments
  • Deal sourcing across the Indian startup ecosystem
  • Structured due diligence, EQR memos & term evaluation
  • Active portfolio monitoring and equity research
  • Informational edge — not market sentiment
Philanthropy
  • Strategic grants to mission-aligned nonprofits
  • Focus: education, healthcare, economic empowerment
  • Rigorous nonprofit diligence and social ROI measurement
  • 100% asset transfer to the next e-board
