Neeraj Bhargava is the founder and Managing Director of Zodius Capital, a Mumbai-based venture firm, after previously serving as co-founder and CEO of WNS and as Managing Partner at eVentures India where he made his first investment in MakeMyTrip. His investment thesis targets early-stage enterprise software and consumer technology companies in India, with a specific focus on vertical e-commerce, digital media, big data, and education. Zodius typically invests Rs 75–100 crore ($10–13 million) per company and aims to back 8–10 firms, often acting as a lead investor in these early-stage deals. Notable portfolio companies include OfBusiness, BigBasket, Zivame, Pepperfry, and US-listed Fubo TV, from which three unicorns emerged. Bhargava’s distinctive point of view centers on the insight that vertical e-commerce would scale massively in India once large horizontal players had already raised significant capital in 2013–2014. He actively serves on the boards of Antuit, Big Basket, BORN Group, Enki Holdings, and ZyFin, reflecting his investor-operator approach.
