Avataar Venture Partners is a growth-stage and tech-focused investment firm. The Bengaluru-based firm counts startups like Amagi, RateGain, Zenoti, Algonomy, and Tech Sense, among others, as part of its portfolio. It typically invests with ticket sizes in the $10-50 million range and targets companies with annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $10 million and above and works to help them scale to an ARR of $100-150 million.  

Last month, the firm led the $45 million Series D funding round of bus tracking and ticketing service provider Chalo. In March, the firm led the $22 million Series C funding round of artificial intelligence-based medical records platform HealthPlix Technologies Pvt Ltd.  

In October 2022, the firm floated a new VC fund with a target corpus of about $350 million. In an interview with VCCircle, Mohan Kumar, founder and managing partner at Avataar, said that they might increase the corpus of the fund to $400 million.
