Venture capital firm Physis Capital has raised over Rs 200 crore as part of its Rs 400 crore maiden fund. The funding round attracted interest from institutional investors and family offices, including SUD Life, Haldiram’s Family Office, Lotus Holdings, and Narayana Nethralaya, the company said in a statement.
Founded by Vinay Bansal, Ankur Mittal, and Mitesh Shah, Physis Capital expects to raise the remaining capital in the next six to nine months.
