Venture Catalysts announces a partial exit from Optimized Electrotech Pvt Ltd

The exit reflects successful value creation from the Series C and Series D investments and the strong growth of Optimized Electrotech

As an early investor, Venture Catalysts++ remains committed to backing businesses with strong fundamentals, differentiated capabilities and the potential to create meaningful, long-term value.

A milestone that reflects both portfolio progress and the strength of conviction behind the investment.

Portfolio Update: , a paediatric behavioural health company providing therapy, diagnostics, inclusive schooling and digital therapeutics, has raised Rs 65 crore in a Pre-Series B round led by Inflexor Ventures.

Why our conviction continues:

Building a comprehensive ecosystem for paediatric behavioural healthcare
Addressing a critical and growing need for early intervention and accessible care
Combining clinical services, diagnostics, digital therapeutics and therapist training under one platform
Building scale through an established network of 90 centres across 22 cities
Strengthening early autism screening through Get SET Early and expanding its reach through hospitals and paediatricians

This capital will support Butterfly Learnings’ expansion beyond Maharashtra, strengthen its AI capabilities, scale therapist training and widen access to early autism screening across India.

Congratulations to the founders and the entire Butterfly Learnings team on this milestone. We are proud to be part of their journey and look forward to seeing them build a more accessible and inclusive future for paediatric behavioural healthcare.

Vande Bharatam brought together some of India’s most promising entrepreneurs and innovators, creating a platform to recognise and support the ideas shaping India’s future.

We’re proud to announce that Dr. Apoorva Ranjan Sharma, Co-Founder, Venture Catalysts, was invited to be part of this journey and contribute his perspective to India’s next generation of entrepreneurial talent.

Venture Catalysts++ believes that the future is shaped by founders who see opportunities where others see challenges. Platforms like Vande Bharatam create an important space for these ideas to be recognised, challenged and supported.

Happy to contribute to that vision and play our part in supporting India's ambition.

Independence is also about having the freedom to think differently, take a chance and build something of your own.

This Independence Day, we brought that spirit into the room with an internal pitching competition that put ideas to the test, along with Best Dressed awards that added a little more fun to the celebration.

A day of sharp ideas, friendly competition, great energy and most importantly, coming together as a team.

VOICE AI Unplugged brought together founders, investors and industry leaders for an evening of candid conversations, fresh perspectives and a closer look at what AI is becoming beyond the buzz.

From ideas being challenged to possibilities being explored, the room was full of conversations that stayed with us long after the event ended.

Here’s a look back at an evening of meaningful conversations, new connections and the people shaping what comes next.

14/08/2026

We ended our week with a little friendly competition, a lot of teamwork and an important lesson we didn’t see coming 🎯

This Fun Friday, we put our aim to the test with a simple challenge: hit the cups. Easy when you can see the target. But not so easy when you can’t.

It helped us understand the role of feedback much better. With a little guidance and a quick adjustment, the target wasn’t so impossible.

Because great performance is about having the right feedback to keep moving towards it.

At the Table, we brought together founders, investors, operators and AI leaders for honest conversations on what it truly takes to build an AI operating company. Because we believe that the future of AI will be built by the decision leaders who make today.

From the expert panel to the founder roundtable, every discussion centered on one question: How do businesses move beyond adopting AI to embedding it into the very fabric of how they operate and scale?

The evening concluded with a networking dinner where conversations continued beyond the stage, creating new connections, exchanging perspectives and strengthening relationships across the startup ecosystem.

A sincere thank you to our speakers, partners at Google Cloud and every founder and leader who brought their insights, experiences and curiosity to the table.

Here's a glimpse of an evening defined by meaningful conversations and the people shaping the future of AI.
