Our Brand & Inspiration

The Kallanai, also known as the Grand Anicut, was built over 1300 years ago to harness the power of the Kaveri and irrigate farmlands in the region. At Anicut, we take inspiration from this engineering marvel to deploy capital and build long-lasting value for our portfolio companies.

Our Inspiration

Our values are inspired by the Grand Anicut Dam (Kallanai Dam), an ancient engineering marvel located in Tamil Nadu, India. Built over 2,000 years ago by the Chola dynasty, it was one of the first major irrigation systems in the world, designed to harness the power of the Kaveri River and irrigate the surrounding farmland.
