Exfinity Venture Partners, India’s leading deep-tech venture capital fund, has delivered a series of strategic exits across its portfolio, underscoring the growing global appetite for Indian-built deep technology and enterprise AI software. In the recent twelve months, Exfinity has completed three strategic exits involving Western multinational acquirers, signaling India’s emergence as a trusted source of globally relevant innovation.

Shailesh Ghorpade, Managing Partner at Exfinity Venture Partners says, “What we are seeing now is a clear shift in how global enterprises approach innovation and growth. Repeated acquisitions of Indian-origin deep-tech companies by Fortune 500 and multinational buyers show that strategic M&A has become a highly viable and lucrative exit path—on par with IPOs, growth-stage up-rounds, and private equity outcomes. For founders and investors alike, this opens up a much broader, more reliable set of global liquidity options.”

Chinnu Senthilkumar, Managing Partner at Exfinity Venture Partners says, “This series of strategic acquisitions demonstrates a fundamental shift in how global enterprises engage with Indian deep tech. We are proud to have returned capital to our LPs within the fund lifecycle while continuing to hold meaningful upside. These outcomes validate our long-held belief that India can produce globally competitive deep-tech companies with real, repeatable exit pathways.”

Exfinity’s portfolio companies currently cater to Fortune 500 customers in Europe, the United States, and Japan, and are progressively collaborating with global capability centres (GCCs) in India looking for sophisticated, locally developed technologies with worldwide significance. Exfinity's ecosystem is enhanced by the involvement of international corporate limited partners, whose participation offers early insights into enterprise technology requirements and acquisition focuses. This closeness to key buyers aids Exfinity in shaping its investment strategy and strengthens its emphasis on creating companies that are in sync with actual enterprise needs in worldwide markets.
