BII is a sector-agnostic venture capital fund, backing game-changing companies like Eruditus, Licious, Shiprocket, Lendingkart, Letstransport and many more. We don’t just invest; we believe in building long-term relationships. That’s why we invest directly from our Balance Sheet, offering unwavering support and a shared vision for the future.

With $500 million committed over the next five years, we’re here for the long run.

From Series A to D, we tailor our strategy to your unique journey, with initial investments from USD 2-5 million, scaling up to USD 20 million as you grow.

Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We work alongside leading VCs and entrepreneurs, maintaining a dynamic reserve to ensure continued support for standout companies. As the strategic investment arm of Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA in India, we bring a global perspective and deep expertise in the Indian startup ecosystem.

At BII, we don’t just invest in businesses—we believe in their potential, standing by founders and teams every step of the way. We are a trusted long-term partner for best-in-class entrepreneurs and investors in the global venture capital industry.

"As a venture capitalist, my greatest joy comes from working with resilient founders. I see entrepreneurs tackling tough challenges with innovation to build strong businesses step by step. Their passion and vision are what India needs, and that’s what drives me."
