🔍 Who is Kushal Bhagia?

Kushal Bhagia stands out in India’s investment ecosystem not just as a venture capitalist, but as someone deeply aligned with the builder’s mindset. He is the driving force behind All In Capital, an early-stage investment firm that is making bold moves in India’s startup landscape — especially among emerging founders in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

Before founding All In Capital, Kushal led First Cheque, one of the country’s most dynamic early-stage funds. His experience there — working with over 100 founders — shaped a clear belief: true startup potential often lies beyond mainstream markets, and it needs early belief, fast capital, and founder-friendly support.

🧱 The Vision Behind All In Capital

All In Capital is more than just a fund. It’s a fast-track support system for new-age entrepreneurs. The goal is to back mission-driven founders right at the starting line — when their ideas are raw, unpolished, and full of possibility.

What makes the approach unique:

• Investment decisions within 7 days.
• A no-nonsense, pro-founder attitude.
• Strong access to a hands-on network of mentors, marketers, and operators.
• A commitment to founders building for India’s next 500 million internet users.

As Kushal often says: “We don’t just write cheques. We roll up our sleeves.”

📊 Investment Focus Areas

The fund is known for backing disruptive ideas in:

• Financial inclusion for Bharat
• Healthtech innovations that solve real grassroots problems
• AI tools for traditional and small businesses
• Creator economy enablers
• Vertical SaaS serving overlooked industries

But more than sector trends, what All In Capital looks for is clarity of thought and obsession with the problem.

💡 The Advantage of Operator Experience

Kushal brings to the table what many investors can’t — real-world operating experience. Having worked at companies like Magicpin and creative agencies like The Glitch, he knows the pressure of early product launches, the importance of storytelling, and how difficult hiring those first five team members can be.

That operator-first lens helps him:

• Share practical GTM strategies.
• Offer hiring help and team-building input.
• Push founders to avoid vanity metrics and focus on true product-market fit.

🗣️ What Founders Say

Many of the founders backed by All In Capital share a similar story — being believed in early when others wanted more traction or proof.

“Kushal didn’t ask for numbers. He asked about my obsession with the problem. That changed everything.” — Fintech founder (pre-seed stage)

“The fastest decision I’ve ever seen in my startup journey. But more importantly, he stayed involved post-funding.” — SaaS builder

🚀 2025 and What’s Coming Next

This year, Kushal and his team are doubling down with:

• A startup support platform offering free GTM playbooks and legal templates.
• A nationwide student scout network to identify new builders from colleges and hometowns.
• Cross-border collaborations with global early-stage investors to co-fund promising Indian ventures.

He’s also exploring the future of deep-tech and AI-native consumer tools — a space where India’s talent is gaining global visibility.

🎯 Why It Matters

Kushal Bhagia represents a new breed of early-stage enablers — empathetic, fast-moving, and deeply committed to making the startup journey less lonely. With All In Capital, he’s proving that the best startup stories often begin with someone saying “Yes, let’s build it” when the world is still unsure.

For emerging founders looking for more than just capital, Kushal is the kind of partner who shows up early, stays in the trenches, and helps shape long-term value.
