PixelSky Capital: Investment Fund Supporting Thriving Tech and Consumer Sectors
PixelSky Capital is a newly established investment fund, crafted by the investment bank IndigoEdge and entrepreneur Hitesh Ahuja. The fund has kicked off with an ambitious target corpus of Rs 400 crore, concentrating on late-stage technology and consumer enterprises. In an impressive move, Ahuja sold his foodtech venture, Yumlane, to Curefoods in 2023.
Recent Investments and Future Plans
The fund has already invested in the beauty retailer Purplle and anticipates finalising its second investment by June, according to reliable sources. PixelSky has plans to channel funds into eight companies that are aiming for an initial public offering within the next 36 to 48 months, with the average investment size expected to be between Rs 40 and 50 crore.
Investment Strategy and Capital Raising
Founders of PixelSky have invested between Rs 10 and 15 crore into the fund, which is also securing capital from local family offices and founders of unicorn companies. The closing date for the fund is projected to be in March 2026.
IndigoEdge’s Role and Experience
IndigoEdge is part of a growing community of investment banks that are focusing on new-economy investments and have decided to launch their own funds. The firm has been actively engaging in proprietary investments directly from its balance sheet and has participated as a limited partner in around 8 to 10 venture capital funds, investing between Rs 25 and 30 crore to date. Through PixelSky, IndigoEdge plans to broaden its investment offerings alongside the existing services it provides, having successfully facilitated over 150 transactions valued at approximately $3 billion.
Leadership Behind PixelSky Capital
Leading the fund alongside Ahuja is Zerin Rahiman, a co-founder of IndigoEdge and a former senior executive at the private equity firm New Silk Route.
Selection Process for Investments
PixelSky Capital is set to assess around 20 companies across diverse technology and consumer fields, from which it will select eight for investment.
