Karthik Reddy is the co-founder and Managing Partner of Blume Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm he established with Sanjay Nath in Mumbai in 2010 or 2011. He primarily invests in seed and pre-Series A technology startups across India, focusing on sectors such as SaaS, fintech, consumer internet, deep tech, edtech, healthtech, and logistics. While specific check sizes are not publicly detailed, Blume targets seed to pre-Series A stages and Reddy has led the majority of the firm’s investments, often serving on boards. Notable portfolio companies under his oversight include Unacademy, Healthifyme, Exotel, Grey Orange Robotics, Servify, and Railyatri. Reddy distinguishes himself by seeking founders who leverage technology, regulatory shifts, or undisturbed industries to build large, legendary companies rather than making incremental improvements. He previously served as Chairperson of the Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association (IVCA), where he engaged with the government on policy and regulatory issues for alternative investment funds.
