Investment platform Inflection Point Ventures launches a new fund, the IPV International Fund, worth $110 million.
In a significant move, Inflection Point Ventures (IPV), an Indian venture capital firm, has launched IPV International, a new fund registered under the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) framework in GIFT City. The fund, worth $110 million, aims to scale IPV's offerings beyond national borders and engage with global startup ecosystems.
Vineet Sharma, the founder and CEO of IPV, is spearheading the international expansion of the company. He established IPV in 2014 and played a crucial role in the introduction and management of IPV International, a Category-I Alternative Investment Fund. This fund enables IPV to extend its reach globally and support Indian startups on an international level.
IPV International has secured both the fund registration certificate and the fund management entity (FME) license from IFSCA. The first close of the fund occurred in April 2025.
The GIFT City structure, where IPV International is present, offers tax efficiency and regulatory clarity, attracting both domestic and international participants. This framework makes it significantly easier for non-Indian investors to invest in the Indian startup ecosystem.
Vinay Bansal, Founder and CEO of IPV, stated that IPV is extending its offerings through IPV International to participate in cross-border investment opportunities. The company will leverage its experience to scale its platform and attract a global investor base through IPV International.
IPV International will focus on early-stage to pre-Series A funding rounds, with average ticket sizes ranging from $100,000 to $1 million. The fund is designed to consider high-potential foreign startups alongside domestic opportunities.
Mitesh Shah, Co-founder of IPV, notes IPV's impressive journey over the past six years, including 50 successful exits from a portfolio of over 220 startups. With the launch of IPV International, the company aims to replicate its proven, sector-agnostic approach on a global scale.
Bansal noted a strong interest not just from Indians & NRIs, but also from non-Indian investors in the booming Indian startup ecosystem. The presence of IPV International in GIFT City will allow the firm to engage with these global investors and scale beyond national borders.
IPV International operates under the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA), which serves as a SEBI-equivalent unified regulator. The rigorous due diligence and structured evaluation that IPV is known for will continue to be the cornerstone of its investment thesis.
IPV International made its first investment in Cellivate Technologies, a deeptech startup based in Singapore. This investment marks a significant step towards IPV's goal of supporting high-potential startups across the globe.
With IPV International, IPV is poised to make a significant impact on the global startup landscape, offering a highly investor-friendly environment driven by a liberalised tax regime and simplified compliance. The clear, flexible, and innovation-friendly framework offered by IFSCA is expected to attract more funds, startups, and global asset managers to GIFT City.
