India 2016: Ratan Tata, Kunal Shah among top startup investors.
Ratan Tata and Kunal Shah emerged as the most active angel investors in 2016 with both of them having invested in at least 17 startups each during the year, as per the data based on announced deals compiled by DEALSTREETASIA.
T V Mohandas Pai has come in as the second most prolific angel investor with investments in about a dozen startups.
Although Tata’s most investments are often undisclosed, startups that receive backing from him benefit not only in terms of the finances but also from his expert mentoring to scale the businesses.
Tata’s investments are spread across sectors, but a majority of his funds are directed towards the Internet, software and services sector.
His investments include sound-based proximity payment company ToneTag, artificial intelligence-powered smart assistant Skedool.it, start-up data analytics firm Tracxn, and US-based Capria Accelerator.
These angel investors have come as a saviour for the startups at a time when venture capital firms are holding back on investments doubting returns from previous investments.
While ups and downs happen in every industry, the opportunity in India has not really shrunk.
FreeCharge co-founder Sandeep Tandon has been another prominent investor this year.
He has invested in online B2B fruits and vegetables marketplace Bharat Bazaar along with co-founder Kunal Shah, Pai, Rohit Bansal and Kunal Bahl of Snapdeal, Anupam Mittal of Shaadi.com, and others.
