Former BharatPe executive Suhail Sameer's OTP Ventures is raising $50 million in its first fund and is hoping to mark its first close at 40-50% by next month. The CapTable got hold of OTP Venture's pitch deck that shows the firm’s plans for its maiden venture.

BharatPe’s Suhail Sameer is hoping to mark the first close of OTP Ventures Fund I at 40-50% of the total $50 million corpus by June
OTP Ventures, which plans to invest in consumer brands and fintech startups, has already made four investment commitments through the fund
OTP Ventures will be investing in early-stage companies and will be the first institutional cheques for startups
Besides investing early, Sameer also wants to exit early for better risk-adjusted returns
