Avan Partners

Avan Partners is a venture diagnostics and fundraising advisory firm in Mumbai, India, for early-stage consumer and D2C founders preparing to raise seed or Series A capital. We start with a diagnostic of whether a brand is investable and what is stopping it, covering unit economics, gross margin, CAC and repeat rate, positioning, founder fit and the story an investor will actually hear. Founders then get a clear plan to fix the gaps before they pitch. Through capital advisory, brands that pass our own diligence get help with fundraising strategy, pitch materials and introductions to investors whose mandate fits. We are not a fund, and we share our findings with a founder before we ever talk about fees. For VCs, angels and family offices, we share vetted deal flow and a monthly market note written for each fund's mandate. Founded in 2026 by Ananya Iyer and Vannan Mehta.
