Every computing shift creates a new interface.
We believe the AI era will be no different.
Excited to back @lazyapoorv and the @AinaInterface team as they build toward that future. Congratulations on the milestone.

Most cricket ads sell products.
We wanted to sell the dream of building.
So we handed India’s biggest spotlight to 30+ founders.
An 8-year-old starting up. A 90-year-old starting again.
People who broke barriers and built anyway.
And in doing so, they created jobs, solved real problems, and moved India forward.
But this was never meant to be just an ad campaign.
It’s a movement to make builders visible, celebrate ambition
And remind the next generation that the coolest thing you can do right now is build for India.
To every founder out there rewriting the rules - this one’s for you.
And whoever said founders can’t act… wait for the ad breaks 👀
They might just inspire you to build something too.

It’s a small team, so there are no defined swim lanes.
You’ll be jumping across sourcing, decision-making, portfolio management, and driving how the fund itself evolves over time.

Who we’re looking for:
Someone with strong judgment and high agency, comfortable operating without playbooks, moving fast, and forming conviction early.
You’ve preferably operated in a breadth-first role in a startup before. Investing experience is not a must but a bonus

We invest $25–100K in pre-seed and seed-stage companies across India and the US, including: @UltrahumanHQ, @DhanHQ, @CheQ_One, @ekacareHQ, @StableMoney_ and bets across nuclear fusion, AI hardware, and new-age hospitals.

Mars Shot is the early-stage investment arm of the Razorpay founding team.
We’ve built this in a scrappy, high-conviction way so far: operator-led, fast-moving, hands-on, and closer to founder-to-founder trust than a structured diligence machine.

6/ At MarsShotVC, we back founders building for the next billion—across Bharat and beyond. NBC’s ambition, sharp branding, and ops-driven execution made this a no-brainer for us.
5/ The fresh capital will go towards:
🔸 Opening 150+ stores by March 2026
🔸 Expanding into new formats like kiosks
🔸 Strengthening supply chain & digital ops
🔸 Hiring top talent
4/ With 85+ stores across 35 cities (including Portugal!), NBC is already one of India’s most scaled coffee QSR brands. But they’re just getting started…
3/ Enter NBC, a Jaipur-born coffee chain led by Ankesh Jain, Akshay Kedia, Shubham Bhandari & Anand Jain. They’re building a youth-first, aesthetically vibrant brand with affordable offerings. Think chaat meets café culture.
