Kabir Narang Exits B Capital to Launch New Investment Initiative
Kabir Narang, who joined B Capital in March 2017, has announced his departure from the firm to establish a new investment platform. During his time at B Capital, Narang played a pivotal role in shaping the firm’s Asia strategy from Singapore and chaired its global investment committee. He was instrumental in financing Indian startups, including notable names like Meesho, Khatabook, CredAvenue, Bounce, and Bizongo.
In a statement, Narang emphasized the significance of currently navigating a major technological transformation. “AI scales thought itself, compressing the gap between idea and output,” he noted, highlighting that visionary founders who leverage speed alongside pricing power and enhanced unit economics will pave the way for the next generation of lasting value.
While setting up his new platform, Narang revealed plans to take 1% to 2% personal stakes in select companies he believes can “compound intelligently,” indicating his intent to remain involved in early-stage investments.
A spokesperson from B Capital confirmed, “After more than eight years with the firm, Kabir Narang has left his role to pursue other opportunities. We are grateful for his contributions and wish him continued success.”
Founded in 2015 by Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin and former Bain Capital executive Raj Ganguly, B Capital operates as a multi-stage investor with a significant focus on technology, healthcare, and resilience tech. The firm manages assets exceeding $9 billion through nine offices in the U.S. and Asia. In collaboration with Boston Consulting Group, B Capital offers strategic and operational support to its portfolio companies.
Before his tenure at B Capital, Narang held a managing director position at Eight Roads Ventures India, a Fidelity-backed firm, for nearly nine years.
B Capital remains committed to its Asia strategy and its global platform, with leadership emphasizing their preparation to seize the next wave of innovation and support key companies across their primary markets. Narang did not provide a comment regarding his departure.
