Private equity and venture capital firm Ventureast Fund Advisors India Ltd is looking to raise around $150-200 million for technology startups, according to a Mint report citing a top company executive.
"We expect this fund to close faster than the previous ones given the sentiment revival among the large institutional investors," Sarath Naru, Managing Partner, Ventureast, told the newspaper.

Ventureast spokesperson confirmed the development over phone but did not disclose details.
With close to $300 million under management, the firm invests in innovative businesses across multiple sectors and multiple stages of a business - from seed and early to growth stages.
