Of the 24 portfolio companies, 54 per cent are in jobtech, 25 per cent in fintech and 21 per cent in healthcare. Seventeen of these 24 companies received follow-on financing from Unitus and other investors in 2020 to help them scale their business.

The pandemic-ridden year taught us that only companies with decisive leaders survive. Our portfolio companies not only survived but also found new paths of growth through the challenging times.

“With prompt business decisions driven by a fierce problem-solving attitude and deployment of cutting-edge technology, they recovered revenue while increasing their impact,” said Will Poole, Managing Partner, Unitus Ventures.

“Out of the many gaps that were exposed during the pandemic, the biggest was that of unemployment, especially in the lower socio-economic income population. In this category, Unitus-backed jobtech companies grew their impact by 64 per cent to 9.6 million lives, creating opportunities and upscaling skills for a future-ready workforce,” added Poole.

“Our investments across two funds have underscored the importance of skilling and job creation for the Indian economy. Our goal is to identify and support innovators and entrepreneurs who are using technology and business principles to address issues,” said Surya Mantha, Senior Partner, Unitus Ventures.
