Marwari Catalysts (MCats), India’s fastest-growing startup accelerator, has unveiled plans to build a Rs. 4,000 crore (US$500 million) impact-focused portfolio by 2027. The announcement comes as MCats expands into Dubai and Singapore, furthering its global footprint.
Backed by over 150 co-investors, family offices and a network of 200+ global mentors, the fund aims to foster inclusive growth, social impact, and sustainable innovation across sectors.
Since inception, MCats has invested in more than 100 early-stage ventures across India, generating over 5,000 jobs. Notably, 35% of its portfolio companies are led by women co-founders, with women holding several key leadership roles.
“We believe valuations shouldn’t eclipse values,” said Sushil Sharma, Founder of Marwari Catalysts. “This fund is our blueprint for a more resilient and inclusive India. Success isn’t just about unicorns; it’s about building companies that improve lives and create lasting social change.”
MCats’ initiatives are closely aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), driving progress in healthcare, education, gender equality, economic growth, sustainable infrastructure, clean energy, and climate action. The accelerator has also set an ambitious goal to become India’s first carbon-neutral accelerator by 2027.
With this fund, MCats reaffirms its commitment to building a startup ecosystem where innovation, inclusion, and impact go hand in hand.
