About Vimal Khivesara
Vimal Khivesara is an individual angel investor based in India, according to CB Insights. A post by the JITO Incubation and Innovation Foundation (JIIF) on X introduced him as one of its "Sharks" and said he leads WMA Group.
His own site, LinkedIn and X profiles did not turn up in public sources, and no further career history was found. A LinkedIn profile for a different person with a similar name appeared in search results and has been ignored.
Public databases list a small number of investments, all from 2024. Crunchbase shows two seed-round investments, in Elixia Inc and Zintlr. CB Insights and Tracxn each list only Zintlr, and Tracxn dates the start of his startup investing to 2024.
Crunchbase dates the Elixia Inc round to October 14, 2024, and the Zintlr round to September 30, 2024. His own check sizes are not public. Databases that show a dollar figure are reporting the size of the whole round.
Zintlr is the clearest AI investment. Press coverage describes it as a B2B SaaS company whose AI-powered platform helps large corporates and multinationals shorten sales cycles and close more deals. Its seed round was reported at Rs 7.5 crore in September 2024. Om Jain of Jain Investment Advisors led it, and Vimal Khivesara took part alongside JIIF, Motilal Oswal and several other angels.
No public sources describe the AI focus of the Elixia Inc investment, so it is not characterised here.
The public record points to seed-stage rounds in Indian startups, with Zintlr in enterprise software and sales intelligence. Tracxn lists his main sector as Enterprise Applications. He has not publicly stated an investment thesis, preferred check size or the signals he looks for in founders. Founders should treat the focus above as inferred from a very small number of deals.
- Zintlr: AI-powered sales intelligence and lead platform for B2B teams. He joined its Rs 7.5 crore seed round, announced in September 2024.
- Elixia Inc: Crunchbase lists him as an investor in its seed round, dated October 14, 2024. Public sources do not describe its product.
