Rohan Misra, son of former SoftBank Vision Fund CEO Rajeev Misra, has stepped into the investment arena with his newly launched fund, Gravity Holdings.
According to a report by The Economic Times, the London-based fund has raised around $150 million to invest in Indian tech startups. Rohan, a Yale graduate, has secured funding primarily from prominent Indian family offices and key figures in the tech industry. Over the past few months, he has been actively engaging with startup founders and business leaders, signaling his ambition to establish a strong foothold in venture investing.
On Wednesday, Gravity Holdings made its first major investment by backing SaaS unicorn Darwinbox. Interestingly, Rohan had previously worked at TCV, a firm that had already invested in Darwinbox, showcasing a sense of continuity in his investment strategy.
Meanwhile, Rajeev Misra, globally known for leading SoftBank’s $100 billion Vision Fund, continues to expand his influence in global finance. His investment firm, One Investment Management (OneIM), is reportedly in talks to invest in the Shapoorji Group, which is raising $3.3 billion. OneIM’s capital is backed by heavyweight investors, including Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s Royal Group and UAE’s sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala Investment Co.
With Rohan Misra now making strategic moves in the investment world, Gravity Holdings is set to emerge as a key player in India’s startup ecosystem.
