Green Frontier Capital (GFC), an early-stage climate-tech investment firm, has unveiled its first SEBI-approved Category 2 Alternative Investment Fund (AIF), the Green Frontier Capital India Climate Opportunities Fund, with an ambitious target corpus of Rs 1,500 crore. This move marks a significant step in the firm’s mission to accelerate India’s transition to a low-carbon economy by funding transformative climate technologies.
The Green Frontier Capital India Climate Opportunities Fund aims to attract local investors interested in supporting climate-tech ventures and driving India’s sustainable development goals. The AIF will primarily focus on India-centric companies in the Seed to Series A stages, offering them the capital needed to scale innovative solutions in decarbonization, digitization, and disruptive technologies.
Targeting sectors such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and artificial intelligence (AI), the fund intends to optimize resources and drive sustainable growth. It will focus on technologies that reduce emissions in critical industries and support emerging innovations in biological intelligence, sustainability, food systems, and life sciences—key areas that are reshaping industries for a sustainable future.
In line with global sustainability policies, the AIF prioritizes local solutions, seeking investments in early-stage companies poised to lead the charge in their respective sectors. The fund is designed to generate substantial returns while simultaneously supporting the transition to a greener, more sustainable economy.
The launch follows GFC’s recent success in leading a $3 million pre-Series A funding round for ElectricPe, an electric vehicle (EV) super-app. This move further solidifies GFC’s commitment to the growing clean-tech sector, reinforcing its focus on supporting high-impact climate-tech startups.
Founded by Sandiip Bhammer, Green Frontier Capital is focused on funding breakthrough innovations in decarbonization, emissions reduction, and sustainable energy. The firm has already backed several prominent startups, including Battery Smart, BluSmart Mobility, E-Motorad, and Nutrifresh, all of which are contributing to a greener, more sustainable India.
