Sathguru Catalysers is a sustainability-first impact investment fund manager, committed to transforming agriculture, food, and health sectors by backing deep tech innovations that are not only commercially viable but also globally relevant.
A Pedigree of Expertise and Excellence
Sathguru Catalysers has a unique advantage of drawing on the strength and expertise from its Sponsor, Sathguru Management Consultants (SMC). SMC is a global leader in strategy and innovation advisory for over four decades. From the very start, SMCs work has centered around agriculture, food, and healthcare, the fundamental pillars of human existence.
With over four decades of engagement across Life Sciences, SMC has played a pioneering role in the evolution of the Indian life sciences ecosystem. Be it shaping government policies, or guiding Indian ventures from ideation to market leadership, or helping MNCs navigate complex Indian markets, SMC has played a vital role in bridging the gap between innovation and commercialization.
As India emerges as a global hub for innovation and technology validation in life sciences, there is a growing opportunity to take these technologies to other Lower-Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) across Asia and Africa. However, despite their immense potential, these sectors remain underserved in capital and expertise.
Bridging innovation and commercialization for over four decades, we are now catalyzing India’s life sciences revolution—funding and scaling innovative solutions for global impact.
We recognized that for innovation to truly create an impact, it needed more than just funding—it needed strategic guidance, the right networks, and industry expertise. That’s why we have brought together our team of industry specialists who understand these technologies at their core and can accelerate their commercialization. By investing in transformative technologies, we are not just backing businesses—we are shaping the future of well-being.
