Ronnie Screwvala is the founder and Managing Director of Unilazer Ventures, a Mumbai-based private equity and venture capital firm he established in 1991 after selling his media company UTV to Disney. The firm’s investment thesis targets both early- and late-stage companies in impact-driven and consumer-facing sectors such as agriculture, education, e-commerce, fashion, and food and beverage, primarily within India. Unilazer typically makes significant minority investments and has acted as a lead investor in several deals, including pumping an additional Rs 24 crore into Lenskart for growth. Notable portfolio companies include Lenskart, ShopClues, Zivame, and DailyObjects, with Lenskart marking the firm’s latest exit in November 2025. Screwvala has publicly emphasized investing in “impact sectors” that directly serve consumers, reflecting a focus on scalable businesses with social relevance. While specific check sizes and lead/follow patterns beyond select deals are not consistently documented, his approach combines entrepreneurial mentorship with substantial capital deployment in India’s new economy.
