Piper Serica Raises Rs 300 Crore in First Close of Bharat Tech Fund
Venture capital firm Piper Serica has raised Rs 300 crore in the first close of its Rs 800 crore Bharat Tech Fund within 45 days of launch. The fund will invest Rs 20-50 crore in deeptech startups across sectors like semiconductors, defence, spacetech, AI, robotics, biosciences, fintech infrastructure, and advanced electronics. Nearly half the capital came from investors in Piper Serica's first fund. The firm expects to complete fundraising earlier than planned due to strong investor interest.
