About Transition VC:

Transition VC is India's first venture capital fund dedicated exclusively to the energy transition. We back founders building the technologies, infrastructure, and business models that will define India's shift to a low-carbon economy - spanning clean energy, climate tech, mobility, industrial decarbonization, and adjacent sectors. As a category-defining fund in a fast-growing space, TVC sits at the intersection of capital, policy, and innovation, working closely with founders, government bodies, and global climate finance institutions to accelerate India's energy transition.

The ideal candidate is a sharp storyteller and builder who can operate strategically as well as hands-on - equally comfortable shaping a positioning narrative for LPs as they are briefing a journalist, running an event, or reviewing a social media calendar.
