Svara Group is led by a small bench of operator-investors. Our team operates across capital, marketing infrastructure, and strategic advisory — bringing every portfolio company the same operational depth a much larger platform would.
Founder, Svara Group
Prashanth Nataraj founded Svara Group in 2024 to back founder-led brands at the intersection of AI infrastructure and human craft. As an operator-investor based in New York, he has spent the years since building the studio's three flagship subsidiaries — Lume AI (autonomous marketing for SMBs), FreNYC (strategic advisory and fractional leadership), and FOMO Bakery (woman-led premium confectionery, Bangalore). His investment philosophy centers on long-dated capital, founder operational control, and the conviction that AI-first companies will be defined less by their model choice and more by the craft of the founder behind them.

Svara Group's operating bench includes the leadership of each subsidiary — the founders and senior operators of Lume AI, FreNYC, and FOMO Bakery. Together they form the studio's working group: a multi-disciplinary team across artificial intelligence engineering, brand and marketing strategy, fundraising and M&A advisory, and consumer product craft.
