Saama Capital, founded in 2006 and based in Bengaluru, has established itself as a steady, conviction‑driven early‑stage investor. The firm focuses on Series A rounds across consumer, retail and enterprise technology, often writing first checks of $1-3 million. Its investment thesis centres on backing companies with scalable potential and supporting them through subsequent rounds.
In 2025, Saama led a $1.7 million seed round in cleaning‑product startup Koparo Clean alongside P4 Capital, with participation from the Vikramaditya Mohan Thapar family trust. The portfolio features one unicorn, four public listings and 20 acquisitions, with MediBuddy, BlueStone and Bigbasket among its most recognizable names. Saama’s disciplined due‑diligence process has helped it pick winners early.
Managing around $330 million, Saama employs 19 people, including six partners. The firm has participated in more than 100 funding rounds and frequently co‑invests with angel investors like Amit Singhal. Its consistent performance over nearly two decades has kept it relevant in India’s evolving start‑up landscape.
