Summary
More than 40 venture capital firms and ecosystem leaders joined VC Circle by iQue’s Bengaluru launch, bringing combined assets under management of over $2.6 billion.
The platform said the move is aimed at strengthening Bengaluru’s startup and investment landscape through collaboration, cross-border opportunities, mentorship and strategic access to capital.
CEO Harikrishnan R. framed the initiative as going beyond funding toward long-term value creation, while FITT IIT Delhi’s Ankit Saxena highlighted tighter links among founders, academia and investors.
The Bengaluru rollout comes as India’s startup ecosystem matures and investors increasingly prioritize sustainable scale, governance, founder quality and broader ecosystem support over early traction alone.
