Your Growth Engineering Partner for scale-ups in India.
India is core to TGC. Gateway Group has its global HQ in India as well as the Netherlands, and the firm has a long history of working with Indian software and SaaS founders pursuing global-from-day-one scale.
The India ecosystem, as we see it
India ecosystem context: strongest global-first software founder cohort in Asia. Capital is accessible at all stages; the differentiator is capacity that compresses the time to enter new markets. TGC is built for this.

Frequently asked questions
- Does TGC Capital Partners work with scale-ups in India?
- Yes. TGC works directly with scale-up founders in India. We bring the 6X Factors into the company as one programme: sales and marketing capacity, engineering capacity from our global teams, governance and back office, and leaders from Gateway Group on the board. We invest in the programme we deliver, together with your lead investor.
- How does TGC invest in India companies?
- We invest in the programme we deliver, together with your lead investor, at an agreed valuation, routinely up to 30% of the optimised funding need over the 18-month plan. The plan is recast month by month in the workshop, with the programme inside it. We invest as a minority partner without control.
- Does TGC have a local presence in India?
- India is covered by TGC partners with direct operating experience in the local ecosystem. Gateway Group has offices in 15 countries across Europe, North America, Africa and India, and our global teams work with founders in each market.
- How is TGC different from a VC or PE fund in India?
- TGC Capital is not a VC, a PE fund or a venture studio. We do not only provide capital, and we do not create companies. We work with existing founders and put our teams inside their company, under one agreement, and we invest only when execution leverage is clear. Read more on the /focus and /platform pages.
- Which sectors does TGC focus on in India?
- Software and SaaS, vertical software products and tech-enabled services. We do not invest in hardware, deep tech or capital-intensive sectors outside software.
