When we first interacted with Abhishek Ganguly to discuss his vision for Agilitas, his energy was infectious. It’s always a fantastic experience to meet a founder who has both a horizon-shattering vision and the drive to actualise it. Founded with the singular but massive objective of transforming the sportswear category in India, Agilitas is infusing itself into every aspect of the process and experience -- from robust R&D to drive innovation, cutting-edge design expertise to shatter through clutter, and state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities to ensure the products match the promise. As Agilitas prepares to launch the next generation of iconic sports brands, Spring will be working with Abhishek and his team to develop brand & launch strategies rooted in deep understanding of consumer & culture. We’re excited to team up with them to reinvent how India interacts with the world of sport.

Fresh out of college Ria and Shreya - built a cool, new-gen athleisure brand, Cava. And Early Spring led the first institutional round in this company. When we first met Ria & Shreya, we were super impressed with the passion and zeal with which they were building Cava - they are very connected to their audience and saw early customer love and adoption. Cava is not just a cool brand, it’s also an uber-comfortable and stylish set of athleisure products offering high-quality fabric, on-trend designs delivering superior comfort. We welcome, Ria and Shreya to the Early Spring family and we look forward to working closely with Ria on building a cutting-edge and loved athleisure brand.

Having seen the jewellery category up close having worked on multiple Titan brands over the years, we at Spring have been fascinated with the jewellery category for many years. We also believe in the growing preference for minimalist fashion and fine jewellery seeing a resurgence. For these reasons, we loved what Ishen and his team at Giva were building - an affordable, authentic jewellery brand with new-age designs. We invested in Giva in 2023 to help them build their brand story in a category that has long been dominated by legacy brands.

Akshay Chaturvedi and co-founders Aman Arora Digvijay Gagneja at Leverage Edu are chasing a large, growing opportunity – enabling students who want to go abroad for their higher education and helping them find the right University fit. We invested in Leverage Edu in 2023 to help the brand scale into new markets & categories and fulfill their vision of 'enabling global citizens' from India.

We believe that India's travel story has only just begun.Consumers of tomorrow are experience hungry, lifestyle conscious & digitally forward. Niyo is building a 'travel banking' solution for this consumer segment. With a strong background in banking & digital, Vinay and Viren have already built Niyo into one of India's most seamless travel cards for international travellers. Spring partnered with Niyo in 2023 to help make travel hassle free & rewarding for the next generation.

Pratech Brands is our first early stage investment. We met Sachin, Anvi & Neehar in early 2023 as they were thinking through Hyugalife - a Health & Wellness marketplace and a private label supplement brand. We strongly resonated with their thinking on the category and their committement to building brands. We are most excited by Pratech's vision of 'building a health conscious generation' in India.

As a country with a rapidly growing young population that’s facing constantly-evolving economic realities, building smart financial habits has never been more important for India. With JAR, founders Nischay and Misbah have created a unique and engaging solution that encourages the audience to start saving money on an everyday basis. The product enables people to dip their toe into the savings & investment space and build savvy savings habits. By leveraging technology to gamify the approach to smarter saving, JAR gets users to start small while saving in a trusted asset — gold! We at Spring are fascinated by both the product and the vision, and excited by the adoption & impact we continue to see across a variety of audiences. We’re thrilled to partner with JAR in building a new-age fintech brand for India.

It was ‘Smiles at first sight’ when we met Hitesh Kakrani and Dr Jatin Kakrani. Youthful, enthusiastic and very passionate about the problem they have set out to solve – re-making and re-imagining the dental experience. Every interaction with the Smiles Team, we came out loving their focus, appreciating the spectrum they were covering – from curative to cosmetic; and connecting with them strongly on the desire to build an impactful dental care brand. Excited to see and unveil what comes ahead – can promise lots of surprises and delights in the days to come. And many many more smiles.

Talking about any issue is such a taboo in India because we're always worried about reaction and seeking help for it is almost out of the question. This is where we see Mosaic Wellness making that change. Revant and Dhyanesh are building 2 horizontal platforms focusing specifically on women- Be Bodywise and men- Man Matters where the platforms address the obvious, not-spoken-of issues that if we had a solution for, that could make both women and men more confident. Spring is partnering with Mosaic Wellness to build out this community of men and women in a real, relatable and reassuring manner. We’ve just gotten started in decoding the world of men and demysting the world of women. Stay tuned!

From the moment we met Pritesh and Megha, the chemistry was undeniable. Juicy Chemistry is Spring's second investment partner, and it's truly a special equation. Juicy Chemistry was born out of Megha & Pritesh's kitchen (literally) and has grown into one of India's only fully organic personal care brands. Spring is partnering with Juicy Chemistry to help craft and bring alive their unique product story and help grow this brand organically.

As the very first partner in our investment portfolio, the partnership between Spring and Purple will always be a special one. We met Manish & Rahul in 2019 (the year of our inception) and things just clicked instantly. Their idealistic views, innovative mindset, and genuine focus on doing good for the community really resonated with us. We've been working closely with them to craft the Purple persona, and to help spread some Good Vibes along the way as well!
