The Pavestone Technology Fund is an alternative investment fund (AIF) registered with SEBI. Its original goal was to raise INR 600 Cr, but it was later changed to INR 900 Cr, or about $107.7 million. 

“The fundamental thesis of the fund is that we want to focus on enterprise technology, specifically companies that solve problems for large and public enterprises in the B2B space. That’s about 80% of our fund,” the report said, citing V Laxmikanth, managing partner at Pavestone.

Pavestone VC was founded in 2021 by Sridhar Rampalli, Srikanth Tanikella, and Laxmikanth V. The Pavestone Technology Fund mainly invests in growth-stage entrepreneurs in the deep tech and enterprise tech sectors. 

The engineering division of the Belgian food and grocery retailer Colruyt Group, contributed INR 15 Cr (about $1.8 million) to the first fund earlier in June. 

The fund targeted businesses that were involved in space technology, 5G infrastructure, blockchain, quantum computing, and electric vehicle components.
