Prosus Bets Early on India’s Next Swiggy or Meesho

[ed]

Traditionally known for late-stage deals, Prosus is now moving early — matching Accel’s investments in startups through their new partnership.
Prosus’ India head Ashutosh Sharma said equity stakes aren’t the priority:

“If we can truly identify a Swiggy, a Meesho, or a Tencent of tomorrow — today — that is success enough.”
The alliance reflects a strategic shift toward early innovation as India’s digital ecosystem matures.
