Titan Capital launches support programme for founders to build in India amid US visa turmoil
The new initiative will offer seed funding, mentorship, and access to the VC fund's 500-plus founder network.
Amidst growing uncertainty around US H-1B visa rules, Titan Capital on Monday announced a support programme for those seeking to build in India.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the VC firm said the programme will provide seed funding, mentorship, and access to its network of over 500 founders.
The recent turbulence around US visa policies, particularly the rising uncertainty over H-1B rules, has left many professionals, students, and aspiring entrepreneurs reassessing their long-term plans abroad.
For many, the dream of building a career in the US is now shadowed by higher costs, as the Trump administration has increased the fees of H-1B visa from $5,000 to $10,000. However, this H-1B uncertainity, is an 'Indian opportunity', Titan Capital noted.
Founded by Snapdeal's Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal, Titan Capital is known for backing startups at the seed and Series A stages. Earlier this year, the VC firm launched a new investment vertical to back defence tech startups.
Titan Capital's portfolio spans over 250 companies, including Ola Consumer, Mamaearth, Razorpay, OfBusiness, and Urban Company, which recently went public.
