What is the news?
Dhruv Dhanraj Bahl, the former COO of BharatPe, has announced a major strategic evolution for his early-stage venture fund, which is now officially named Sadev Ventures. This rebrand from its former name, Eternal Capital, is a deliberate move to align the fund’s identity with its core mission: to serve as a vital link between the burgeoning Indian startup ecosystem and global capital.
Sadev Ventures will continue to focus on “India-first” companies, but with a new emphasis on leveraging its international network of limited partners and strategic advisors to facilitate cross-border expansion for its portfolio companies.
Why is it interesting?

Sadev Ventures reinforces the idea that India is not just a market but a powerhouse of innovation capable of producing world-class solutions. This initiative demonstrates the growing maturity and global ambition of the Founders Community in India.
