Venture capital (VC) firm Accel has said its latest $650 million fund, its eighth in India and Southeast Asia, will focus on partnering early-stage founders to build disruptive and category-defining businesses.
With this fund, Accel, which has backed startups like Flipkart and Swiggy, will continue to partner founders in artificial intelligence (AI), consumer brands, fintech, and manufacturing.
The firm has identified sub-categories of focus within each of these themes.
This includes "Enterprise AI" or platforms that enable enterprise AI use cases using agentic technologies, LLMs (large language models), and SLMs (small language models). There is also "Services-as-Software", where AI startups take advantage of India's large information-technology services capabilities to provide better automation offers, and Vertical AI, where startups take advantage of India's large AI talent pool to integrate AI in vertical specific use cases.
