Mahesh Katragadda, Director of Meenakshi Group, announced that over the next three years, they will invest around $10 million through the new startup fund.

Meenakshi Multiples announced its first investment by picking up a 6 per cent equity in Hyderabad-based co-working venture iKeva for an undisclosed sum.
