1947 Rise is a Bengaluru, India-based venture capital fund and talent platform that facilitates the relocation of global Indian technology professionals back to the domestic startup ecosystem. The organization operates as both a pre-seed and seed-stage investment vehicle and a community network, connecting returning expatriates with local founders and career opportunities. Executing on its reverse brain drain investment thesis, the platform organizes structured relocation cohorts that have processed thousands of applications from non-resident Indian tech talent. Following its initial cohort launch in early 2022, the entity expanded its recruitment efforts by hosting multiple in-person networking events throughout 2023 in major United States technology hubs like San Francisco. The fund leverages the network of its leadership, drawing on prior experience with organizations such as AngelList India and GGV Capital to source deals from Silicon Valley. 1947 Rise was founded in 2021 by Shiva Singh Sangwan.
