Trying to understand the background of Bharat Bhise and his firm

[Michelle Turner]

Yeah, that could be revealing. Even seeing a handful of companies with cross-border teams or markets could give insight into their investment thesis. I also think the low-profile approach might be intentional to avoid signaling to competitors or too many deal seekers at once.

I agree. Another thing I noticed is that Bhise talks about “building founder confidence” in multiple interviews. It sounds like Bravia positions itself as a mentor-investor hybrid rather than just a check writer. That might explain why they don’t necessarily publicize every investment—they want the relationship to develop without external pressure.

It seems like the general pattern from what’s publicly available is a focus on early-stage, founder-aligned, possibly tech-enabled ventures, with careful selection and hands-on support. That’s still broad, but it matches what the profile implies. I’d be interested in seeing if anyone else here has caught a conference panel where he talks about a specific deal or sector.
