Growth Partner for Indian Startups
Laurus Investment Trust is a private trust established in 2015 with a single, focused purpose: to help Indian startups grow faster, smarter, and more sustainably. We are a hands-on growth partner — not a traditional advisory firm, not a passive investor, but an experienced team that works shoulder-to-shoulder with founders through the most defining moments of their journey.
India is one of the most dynamic startup ecosystems in the world, yet too many promising companies stall not because of weak ideas, but because of the gaps that surround them. A strong product without a clear go-to-market plan. Ambitious growth without disciplined financial planning. Talented teams undone by misaligned hiring. Compelling stories that never reach the right investors. Laurus exists to close these gaps, drawing on decades of operating experience to give founders the structure, network, and judgement they need to scale with confidence.
Our team brings more than 130 years of combined leadership experience across Sales, Channel, Finance, Human Resources, Product, Consulting, and Fundraising. We have built businesses, sold to enterprises, scaled teams, and raised capital — across India and global markets. That experience shapes everything we do. When we engage with a startup, we bring practical, tested perspective rather than theoretical frameworks, and we measure our contribution by the outcomes our partners achieve.
We support founders across five integrated areas. We sharpen go-to-market strategies and competitive positioning. We help structure organisations and advise on critical leadership hires. We build robust financial models that align day-to-day decisions with long-term profitability. We open doors to venture capital and private equity partners through trusted networks. And where the fit is right, we invest directly — or through our network of high-net-worth individuals — as early believers who back founders with both capital and mentorship.
What sets Laurus apart is the depth of our involvement. We are selective about who we work with, and committed to those we do. Our success is measured by our partners’ success: customers won, capital raised, teams built, and businesses that endure.
If you are building a company in India and looking for a partner who has been in your shoes, we would welcome a conversation.
