7th Gen Ventures

Climate change is the defining crisis of our time and it is happening even more quickly than we feared. As the UN Secretary-General António Guterres pointed out in September 2022, “The climate emergency is a race we are losing, but it is a race we can win”. 7th Gen Ventures, a Bangalore (India) based enabler, aims to help the planet with this race and address the emerging opportunities for innovation. 7th Gen Ventures aims to foster and catalyze the adoption of technology and innovation for a positive ESG impact. We firmly believe that profitability must be linked indelibly with any sustainability pursuits by Enterprises. Coupled with forward thinking leadership at Corporates & Enterprises, a majority of this disruption must come from start-ups. The abiding strengths of 7th Gen Ventures are capabilities in deep mentorship with eventual access to investment. We believe in the philosophy and principle for Sustainable Living, and are committed to promoting Sustainable Innovation in the world. And from our 120+ years of experience, we also understand that sustainability and profitability must go together, for all stakeholders to benefit, and remain engaged.
