According to reports from Mint, Anish Maheshwari, MD and CEO of VSURE Investment Affairs, identifies substantial long-term potential across multiple sectors including AI and data infrastructure, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics and supply chains, fintech and technology-enabled traditional businesses. As reported by Mint, Maheshwari emphasizes that technology alone is rarely the moat and the real value lies in commercial application, defensible economics, and execution at scale. The company's experience with businesses such as Anvex AI and other companies in the VSURE ecosystem reinforces this approach. Recent developments highlight the critical importance of AI governance, with industry experts questioning whether a handful of select, market-dominant AI companies from Silicon Valley should define the rules and safety standards for generational technology for the entire world.
According to Mint reports, Maheshwari notes that India's SME ecosystem is maturing and public markets are becoming a genuine growth avenue. However, he cautions that IPO eligibility should never be confused with IPO readiness. At VSURE, when assessing businesses for capital, the company looks beyond revenue and profitability to governance, management depth, financial reporting, use of proceeds and the sustainability of the post-funding story. As reported by Mint, the strongest SMEs will be those that institutionalise themselves before entering public markets.
As reported by Mint, India does not have a shortage of businesses or capital; the real gap is capital readiness. Across VSURE's work with 40+ startups and SMEs, promising businesses struggle to raise capital because the opportunity is strong, but the financial architecture, governance, valuation logic or capital deployment plan is not yet institutional-grade. According to Mint, fundability comes down to four things: credible numbers, scalable economics, governance discipline and clarity on how every rupee of capital will create value. The company has facilitated over ₹125 crore in capital across its portfolio.
According to Mint reports, investors still want growth but increasingly want quality of growth rather than just growth at any cost. Across VSURE's portfolio and investor conversations, questions have become sharper about the cost of acquiring growth, margins improving with scale, predictable cash flow, and whether the company can grow without continuously depending on external capital. As reported by Mint, Maheshwari reinforces that revenue creates scale, but disciplined economics create enterprise value. The company's approach emphasizes sustainable value creation over fashionable valuations.
As reported by Mint, family offices are bringing a different quality of capital into the ecosystem—often patient, strategic and entrepreneurial capital. Through VSURE's community of 150+ investors and engagement across India and international markets, family offices increasingly evaluate opportunities not merely as financial investments but through the lens of business synergies, promoter quality and long-term value creation. According to Mint, this can mean much more than funding for SMEs and startups, potentially bringing market access, strategic relationships, governance perspective and follow-on capital.
