Thesis
India Quotient Advisers LLP (IQ) is an Indian venture capital firm founded in 2011/2012, focusing on early-stage investments in disruptive businesses targeting the Indian consumer. Their core thesis is that Indians can build the best products for India, and they actively seek founders with a high 'India quotient' – those with the insight, grit, and ingenuity to solve local problems. IQ often invests at the pre-seed stage, sometimes before a formal product or first customer, prioritizing companies with strong teams, culture, innovation, and capital efficiency. Their strategy involves being an early partner, often writing the first check, and working closely with founders. While primarily focused on Seed rounds, they also participate in follow-on investments. IQ is sector-agnostic within consumer tech but has a focus on fintech, content, online-first brands, healthtech, and education, with recent bullishness on enterprise software and AI-driven digitization. As of October 2025, Fund V closed at $129 million, contributing to a total reported fund size of $318 million. Their 'First Cheque' program offers up to $400K–$500K at the paper-plan stage.
