As Lightspeed continues to build its global platform, India has become a significant focal point for our growth. We have invested in direct and cross-border Indian companies since 2005, and recently established a dedicated support team with offices in Bangalore. We believe the combination of a rapidly growing domestic market, a technologically sophisticated and entrepreneurial labor pool, and a long history of ties to Silicon Valley makes India an ideal destination for investments.

We are well positioned to add value to our Indian entrepreneurs with our collective industry expertise, company-building experience and global relationships. Lightspeed’s investment interest in India is in technology-led opportunities, as well as in non-technology businesses stemming from the strong growth in domestic consumption and infrastructure investment. We are stage-agnostic and are looking at opportunities that address both the local and global market. We will continue to expand our resources in India and have definitive plans to grow our local team and presence in upcoming years.
