Investment Thesis

Nirman Ventures believes in investing for genuine impact as a blueprint for building a sustainable, intelligent, and resilient world—not as a buzzword. As insiders from legacy sectors like construction, energy, manufacturing, and logistics, they bring deep domain expertise to identify and back bold founders transforming these industries. Their approach goes beyond financial support to offer strategic sector knowledge and deep industry networks to help guide, test, develop and scale solutions.

What Sets Them Apart

Founded by operating experts from legacy industries with decades of practitioner experience, not just investor background
De-risk investments through industry insight and deep domain expertise
Leverage global network across 7+ locations (San Francisco, Mumbai, New York, Riyadh, London, UAE, Sydney) to accelerate growth and scale
Provide strategic sector knowledge and deep industry networks, not just capital
Partner with corporate organizations (developers, contractors, manufacturers, miners, AE firms) to combine startup technology with scale and distribution capabilities
Take time to become familiar with teams prior to investment; evaluate founders on their thinking, questioning, and speed in understanding problems before mature solutions exist
Keep costs low through technology and structure, focused on impact rather than events management or incubators
