About Us
Founded on a conviction that Asia's best founders deserve local partners who deeply understand their markets.
In 2019, Vikram Sharma and Priya Mehta saw something missing in India's startup ecosystem. The country's best founders — those building for a billion people — lacked local partners who truly understood their markets, their customers, and their ambitions.
Too many deals were led by overseas investors who couldn't take a 9 PM call from Mumbai. Too many founders felt alone navigating India's regulatory complexity, its unique distribution channels, and the challenge of building for price-sensitive markets.
Aleraa was born to change that. We're the partner you call first — whether you're closing your first enterprise customer, navigating a pivot, or raising your next round. We write $200K–$500K checks at the pre-seed and seed stage, and we stay with our founders through Series A and beyond.
Back early
We invest at the earliest stages because that's when founders need the most help and conviction matters most.
Stay committed
We don't spray and pray. We pick our bets carefully and double down on the winners.
Be the partner founders call first
Not just capital. Hiring, strategy, intros, distribution — we roll up our sleeves.
From our headquarters in Mumbai, we've expanded to Bangalore, Singapore, and Jakarta — covering India and Southeast Asia's most dynamic startup markets.
