## Summary

Mettle Capital, a new venture fund started by three former Sequoia India partners after a contentious exit, has raised $350 million to invest in Indian tech startups, according to two sources. The report says the raise suggests limited partners are not yet writing off India as an investment destination, even as founders and investors there reassess and many look to Silicon Valley as US AI startups widen their lead.

## Why it matters

The report gives a fund size and the context of LP sentiment toward India, useful for judging where venture capital is flowing beyond the US.
