Improvements in ease of doing business
Their faith in our work and vision was evident in every interaction and that has been very motivating. We are very pleased that AUM ventures have been a strong partner with Skyroot in its journey.
They not only bring a lot of strategic advice to early-stage founders, but their hands-on experience adds a lot more help in the early stage of business. Their constant motivation has helped us to grow at a rapid pace.
Chetan is always encouraging, takes the time to meet and advise, helps with industry connections and fundraising, and, most importantly, shares his "Faith" motto to keep you going.
I distinctly remember the COVID phase when the single biggest priority for the AUM team was to ensure their founders continue to remain at the best of their physical and mental health. We want to thank Chetan for being our 1st and dearest investor, continuously investing in our seed and growth rounds and being a personal mentor.
You can share both good and bad news with him, expecting actionable support. Chetan is also generous with his network and always ready to help. And don’t forget to ask him why he named his firm AUM Ventures!
Beyond capital, AUM provides hands-on strategic guidance, helping founders navigate challenges, and refine their business models.
They have exemplified the true spirit of strategic collaboration, empowering ventures with patient capital and a profound understanding of market dynamics.
Chetan and the AUM team bring the patient capital needed to build in the defence sector, and they truly go above and beyond to support founders.
The AUM team has been a great partner to work with, and Chetan's mentoring has helped us scale our business.
As a globally connected firm, AUM Ventures aims to bring global best practices and strategic resources to Indian founders. Our investment strategy is designed to increase the magnitude of success and generate greater risk-adjusted returns for our investors. We do this by being compassionate partners to our early-stage founders, which allows them to unleash the potential of their ideas.
