Investment platform Inflection Point Ventures introduces their new $110 million IPV International Fund
Inflection Point Ventures (IPV), a leading venture capital firm in India, has taken a significant step forward in expanding its investment horizons with the launch of IPV International, a new Category I Angel Fund registered under the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) framework in GIFT City.
The new fund, with an initial corpus of $110 million, will allow IPV to invest in high-potential foreign startups alongside domestic opportunities. The average ticket sizes for IPV International's investments will range from $100,000 to $1 million, positioning the fund to lead or participate in early-stage to pre-Series A funding rounds.
IPV International has already made its first investment, backing Cellivate Technologies, a deeptech startup based in Singapore. This move marks a significant expansion of IPV's investment portfolio, as it ventures into global entry.
The launch of IPV International comes after the entity secured both the fund registration certificate and the fidelity investments license from IFSCA. Operating fully within GIFT City's regulatory framework, IPV International offers a highly investor-friendly environment, driven by a liberalised tax regime and simplified compliance.
Vinay Bansal, Founder and CEO of IPV, stated that IPV is extending its offerings through IPV International to participate in cross-border investment opportunities. "We are seeing strong interest from both Indians & NRIs and non-Indian investors for investments in the booming Indian startup ecosystem, with the GIFT City structure making it easier for them to invest," Bansal said.
Ankur Mittal, Co-founder of IPV, stated that IPV International is designed to replicate IPV's proven, sector-agnostic investment strategy. Mitesh Shah, another Co-founder of IPV, mentioned that IPV has a proven track record of 50 successful exits from a portfolio of over 220 startups.
The first close of IPV International occurred in April 2025, with the fund well-positioned to attract a global investor base, including both domestic and international participants. The combination of IPV's experience and the tax efficiency and regulatory clarity offered by the GIFT City framework positions IPV International to enhance portfolio diversification and investor value.
IFSCA's framework, which offers a clear, flexible, and innovation-friendly framework, has drawn interest from funds, startups, and global asset managers alike. The expansion of IPV's operations under this framework is a testament to the attractiveness of GIFT City as a hub for international investment.
In April 2025, the first step to open the IPV International fund under GIFT City's IFSCA framework was taken by the entity that is part of the GIFT City regulatory environment; however, the specific institution and the firm leading the fund, including its ownership, are not detailed in the available sources.
As IPV International embarks on this new chapter, it is poised to leverage GIFT City's global access framework to invest in high-potential international businesses, further cementing its position as a key player in the global venture capital landscape.
