About Us

Quiver Infoservices Ltd.

Quiver Infoservices is setup to mentor, support and invest in rural businesses to fuel growth of rural startups in India. Our mission is to empower local businesses that serve the heart of the country by providing not just capital, but also the tools and resources needed for success. Quiver was established to address the funding gap faced by rural entrepreneurs and is committed to driving sustainable development in rural and semi-urban and urban markets.

Investment Focus Areas 

We are focused on sectors with significant growth potential in rural and semi-urban regions, including:

Agriculture

Supporting innovative farming practices, agri-tech solutions, and sustainable agricultural initiatives.

Food Processing

Investing in businesses that add value to agricultural products, improve supply chains, and enhance food quality.

Textile

Our Roots 

Quiver is promoted by Drishtee, a leading social enterprise with a 26-year legacy in rural development. Drishtee's extensive experience in building micro-business models and promoting financial inclusion has laid a strong foundation for Quiver's mission. With access to a network that spans nearly 10,000 villages across all Indian states, Quiver is well-positioned to identify high-potential entrepreneurs and emerging sectors.

Why Rural Startups? 

Rural India is undergoing a significant transformation, with local markets expanding rapidly and creating new opportunities for economic growth. However, while urban businesses are primarily focused on serving metropolitan customers, rural entrepreneurs often face challenges in accessing the resources and support they need to grow. At Quiver, we see tremendous untapped potential in these regions and aim to fill the gap by investing in rural startups that can drive sustainable development and social impact.
Rural startups are uniquely positioned to solve local problems, utilize indigenous knowledge, and tap into the vast market opportunities that exist outside urban areas. By investing in entrepreneurs who understand the distinct needs of their communities, we can foster innovation that is relevant, scalable, and sustainable. Rural startups are not just businesses; they are catalysts for change, providing employment, improving livelihoods, and enhancing the quality of life for rural populations.
Quiver is committed to empowering these businesses to thrive by providing the capital, mentorship, and tools necessary for success. We believe that investing in rural entrepreneurs is not just an economic opportunity but also a powerful way to promote inclusive growth, reduce rural-urban disparities, and build a stronger, more balanced economy for India.

Investment Thesis

At Quiver Infoservices Ltd., our investment thesis is grounded in the belief that rural entrepreneurship is key to driving inclusive and sustainable economic growth in India. We focus on nurturing startups that operate in rural and semi-urban markets, where there is immense potential for innovation and impact. Our investment approach centers on identifying and supporting high-potential entrepreneurs who are solving local challenges and meeting the evolving demands of rural consumers.

Core Principles of Our Investment Thesis

Targeting High-Growth Sectors with Local Relevance

We invest in sectors that are integral to rural economies and have significant growth potential, including Agriculture, Food Processing, Textile, and Household Products. These industries not only meet the essential needs of rural communities but also offer scalable business models with the potential to expand regionally and nationally. By focusing on sectors with strong local relevance, we aim to generate meaningful economic and social impact.

Empowering Rural Entrepreneurs Who Understand Rural Dynamics

We prioritize investments in entrepreneurs who have deep roots in their communities and a strong understanding of local market dynamics. These entrepreneurs bring invaluable insights into the unique challenges and opportunities within their regions, enabling them to develop solutions that are practical, sustainable, and aligned with the needs of their target customers. Our goal is to empower these change-makers to scale their impact while maintaining a focus on local development.

Providing Beyond Capital – Mentorship and Efficiency Tools

Our investment philosophy extends beyond providing financial capital. We recognize that rural startups require comprehensive support to accelerate growth and navigate complex business landscapes. Quiver offers mentorship programs that connect entrepreneurs with experienced advisors who provide strategic guidance and industry insights. Additionally, we equip startups with tools and technology to enhance operational efficiency, optimize processes, and maximize growth potential.

Leveraging Drishtee's Established Rural Network

As a subsidiary of Drishtee, Quiver benefits from access to an extensive network that spans nearly 10,000 villages across all Indian states. This network provides a unique advantage in sourcing and supporting high-potential startups, enabling us to identify opportunities at the grassroots level. By leveraging Drishtee's experience in financial inclusion and rural development, Quiver is uniquely positioned to connect entrepreneurs with the resources, markets, and networks they need to succeed.

Fostering Social Impact Alongside Financial Returns

Our investment strategy is driven by a dual focus on financial returns and social impact. We believe that supporting rural startups can create a ripple effect of positive change, from generating local employment and increasing household incomes to improving access to essential goods and services. By prioritizing investments that deliver social value, we aim to build sustainable businesses that contribute to reducing rural-urban economic disparities and enhancing the overall quality of life in rural communities.
