“Siddharth has been of ineffable value to me and my co-founders. His unconventional methods of mentoring and dedicated involvement have always been a key towards solving all business challenges. His appetite to support and guide has been inspiring and his understanding of compliances and finance adds an extra edge to his work. I would strongly recommend all founders in the ecosystem to partner and be involved with him on their journey. ”

#Update Inflection Point Ventures (IPV), an Indian angel investment platform, has launched IPV International, a new USD 110 million fund. Registered as a Category I Angel Fund under GIFT City's IFSCA, it's now operational, broadening cross-border investment access for global and domestic investors. The fund, which saw its first close in April 2025, has already invested in Singapore-based deeptech startup Cellivate Technologies. While sector-agnostic, IPV International will focus on high-growth areas, targeting early to pre-Series A startups with ticket sizes from USD 100,000 to USD 1 million. Its structure simplifies participation for NRIs, OCIs, and foreign nationals, and eases regulatory hurdles for Indian residents investing abroad, leveraging GIFT City's flexible framework for global startup ecosystems. This launch builds on IPV's six-year investment track record and 220-company portfolio.

🚀 Building India's Next-Gen Collections Infrastructure: DPDzero Raises $7M (~₹61Cr) Series A DPDzero (Fund IV) has raised $7M in Series A funding led by GMO VenturePartners, GMO PaymentGateway,Inc. We participated in the round along with SMBC Asia Rising Fund, IndiaQuotient, Sinarmas Group, and others. Founded by Ananth Shroff and Ranjith B.R. Ramachandra, DPDzero is reimagining debt collection for Indian lenders by combining behavioral data, AI-powered agents, and empathy. They aim to build a high-performance, ethics-focused collections infrastructure for India's financial institutions. The fresh capital will fuel the expansion of their AI-led multilingual collections platform and help establish a professional network of field collection agents. The company has already demonstrated impressive traction, growing revenue 6X in the past 18 months, and works with leading lenders including Tata Capital, Moneyview, L&T Finance, and Manappuram Finance Limited. "Collection has been the ignored stepchild of lending; it's low tech, low intelligence, and worryingly, low ethics, as well," says Ananth Shroff, CEO. "We are building the collections company India has been waiting for—reinventing everything from the ground up, bringing back the dignity it really deserves." Sajith Pai, Partner at Blume remarked "When we first backed DPDzero, we bet on two relentless founders chasing an unsexy but massive problem. Today, they've built a product lenders love, scaled revenues 6X, and are winning serious institutional trust." As digital lending expands across India, DPDzero is ensuring that collections evolve to become more efficient, ethical, and borrower-friendly.
