Rockstud Capital Investment Fund I, a 2019 vintage, is a SEBI-registered Category II Alternative Investment Fund and the firm’s first institutional investment vehicle. The fund followed a hybrid investment strategy, combining early-stage private market investments with selective participation in listed equities to balance long-term venture exposure with public market insights and liquidity.
