At the VCCircle Limited Partners Summit 2025 in Mumbai, Deepak Padaki of Catamaran Ventures announced plans to increase investments in early-stage funds and seeks specialist fund managers. The private investment firm, founded by Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murthy, aims to allocate larger tickets directly in these investments. This strategic shift comes amid a slowdown in limited partner (LP) flows from the U.S., prompting Catamaran to explore new opportunities in the evolving funding landscape.
