Green Frontier Capital (GFC), an early-stage climate-tech venture capital firm, has launched its first SEBI-approved Category 2 Alternative Investment Fund (AIF), the Green Frontier Capital India Climate Opportunities Fund, with a target size of Rs 1,500 crore.
The fund is dedicated to advancing India’s transition to a low-carbon economy through strategic investments in transformative climate technologies. GFC aims to empower local climate-tech innovators, aligning with India’s sustainable development objectives by focusing on Seed to Series A stage companies offering cutting-edge solutions in decarbonization, digitization, and disruptive technologies.
In its approach, GFC intends to prioritize sectors like IoT, big data, and AI to enhance resource efficiency and promote sustainable growth. The firm’s vision includes identifying technologies that minimize emissions across key industries and fostering emerging solutions in areas like biological intelligence, sustainable food systems, and life sciences.
The AIF is positioned to tap into global sustainability trends while addressing local priorities, targeting early-stage ventures ready to revolutionize their sectors. The fund’s dual mission is to achieve substantial financial returns and support a greener future for India.
Green Frontier Capital has already made significant strides in this domain, leading a $3 million pre-Series A investment in EV-focused super-app ElectricPe.
Founded by Sandiip Bhammer, GFC has consistently championed early-stage Indian startups with a focus on climate innovation. The firm has supported ventures such as Battery Smart, BluSmart Mobility, E-Motorad, and Nutrifresh, demonstrating its commitment to fostering breakthrough solutions in emissions reduction and sustainable energy.
