Kabir Narang Leaves B Capital for New Investment Platform

Kabir Narang, a prominent figure at B Capital, has announced his departure from the global venture firm. He is preparing to launch a new investment platform targeted for 2026. This venture will concentrate on opportunities arising from the convergence of technology, artificial intelligence, and international capital markets. Narang, who co-led B Capital's Asia strategy since 2017, expressed enthusiasm for AI's potential to scale innovation, emphasizing the importance of founders who combine rapid advancement with strong financial discipline.

During this transition, Narang intends to remain actively involved in early-stage investing by taking personal stakes, typically between 1-2%, in companies he believes possess exceptional growth potential. This strategic move suggests a continued commitment to identifying and supporting emerging businesses while simultaneously building his new, larger investment vehicle. B Capital has acknowledged Narang's departure, stating that Eduardo Saverin, Karan Mohla, and Howard Morgan will oversee its Asia portfolio operations.

Founded in 2015, B Capital manages over $9 billion and focuses on technology, healthcare, and resilience tech. The firm highlighted its ongoing commitment to its Asian strategy and global platform, assuring stakeholders that experienced leadership is in place to continue backing innovative companies. Narang's previous experience includes nearly nine years as a managing director at Eight Roads Ventures India.
