She had also objected to the appointment of certain directors as representatives of the Kapur family. 'I've been informed that certain people are representing themselves as being the largest shareholders of the company since they claim to represent the interest of the family in the company.

'For the record, I state that I have not given any consent or officially nominated any person to come on the 0board of the company or any other Sona Group company after my son's demise or given any consent to any person to represent me in any capacity before the company and or any other Sona Group company.'At Friday's AGM, Sona Comstar shareholders voted in favour of various appointments including that of Sunjay Kapur's widow Priya Sachdev Kapur as a non-executive director with a 99.4% has learnt that Rani Kapur, who claims to hold majority ownership in the Sona Group by virtue of her late husband's will from 2015, may next week move the high court seeking a declaration that she continues to be a shareholder and was kept away from voting at the AGM.

Why bizman Sunjay Kapur's death has sparked a feud, corporate power struggle
Over a month after businessman and actor Karisma Kapoor's former husband Sunjay Kapur died of a heart attack while playing polo in London, his mother Rani Kapur has written to the board of directors of family-owned auto components firm Sona Comstar — a part of Indian conglomerate Sona Group — suggesting that she had been 'forced to sign documents behind locked doors' and 'left to the mercy of a select few for survival'. The letter was written by Rani Kapur hours before an annual general meeting (AGM) of the company was scheduled for Friday. The letter, in which Rani identified herself as the majority shareholder of the Sona Group, stated: 'I was approached multiple times and compelled to sign various documents without explanation or even having time to read and understand the same. Despite being under immense mental and emotional distress, I was coerced into signing such documents behind locked doors… the contents of such documents have never been revealed to me.' In the letter, which was also copied to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Rani also alleged that she has lost access to all her bank accounts. 'Please also take note that I have been totally denied access to my accounts and have been left to the mercy of a select few for survival. All this, in less than a month of my only son passing away,' she said. Rani further said that her late husband, Surinder Kapur — the founder of Sona Group, who had passed away in 2015 — had, via a will dated June 30, 2015, made her the sole beneficiary of his estate and also a majority shareholder of the Sona Group. 'It is unfortunate that while the family and I are still in mourning, some people have chosen this as an opportune time to wrest control and usurp the family legacy,' she wrote while requesting that the AGM be postponed by two weeks. She further alleged that in the AGM, a resolution would be passed to appoint certain directors in the company as representatives of the Kapur family, without her involvement. 'Unfortunately, once again, nothing has been told or explained, let alone discussed with me regarding the same by the company or people involved,' she said. Rani, who is being represented by senior advocate Vaibhav Gaggar and advocate Smriti Churiwal, added that she had 'not given any consent or officially nominated any person to come on the board of the company or any other Sona Group company after my son's demise or given any consent to any person to represent me in any capacity before the company and or any other Sona Group company'. The Indian Express has learnt that Sona Comstar, while denying all allegations, has said that it did not defer its AGM — which was 'scheduled in full compliance with the law' — despite the request from Rani Kapur, as she is not a shareholder in the company. On June 12, Sunjay Kapur died at the age of 53 following a heart attack. Some reports claimed that he had swallowed an insect while playing polo, which possibly sent his body into shock.

Yali Capital closes Rs 893 crore deeptech fund
Bengaluru: Bengaluru-based Yali Capital closed its debut deep tech-focused fund at Rs 893 crore, exceeding its original Rs 500 crore target and Rs 310 crore greenshoe option. The Sebi-registered Category II AIF plans to deploy the fund across early-stage and late-stage investments in sectors such as semiconductors, AI, robotics, aerospace, and smart manufacturing. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Founding managing partner Ganapathy Subramaniam told TOI that the fundraise was completed entirely through word-of-mouth, without any bankers or distributors. "Nearly 78% of our capital came from India – entrepreneurs, family offices, fund-of-funds like Sidbi's FFS and Self-Reliant India Fund, and corporate backers including Infosys and Qualcomm," he said. The fund's leadership team also committed Rs 15 crore each to the vehicle. Yali Capital operates through a dual structure comprising a Sebi-registered AIF and a GIFT City-based feeder vehicle to attract global capital. The firm has already backed five startups and plans to invest in three more by the end of the year. The average ticket size ranges from $2 million to $10 million, with ownership targets varying from 20% at seed stage to as low as 5% in late-stage deals. The fund will allocate 70% of capital to early-stage bets and the remaining 30% to growth-stage investments, primarily in companies at Series D and beyond. "Of the early-stage capital, about 45% will go into first institutional rounds and 25% into follow-ons," Subramaniam said, adding that the fund will not participate in secondary transactions. Subramaniam, who previously led and backed deep tech companies such as Cosmic Circuits, IdeaForge, and Tonbo Imaging, said the team brings strong operator experience and intends to work closely with founders. "Today alone, two of our portfolio startups spent three hours each with us. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now We're not just capital providers; we want to help execute the vision," he said. While Yali's early-stage focus will be on experienced or university-affiliated founders in deep tech, the late-stage strategy leans heavily on partner Mathew Cyriac's track record of taking companies like MTAR Technologies and Data Patterns public. "India has several deep tech firms doing hundreds of crores in revenue but struggling to scale. We want to come in, back them with capital and execution, and take them public," Subramaniam said. Asked about sectoral depth, he flagged manufacturing, robotics, and chip design as areas with strong founder readiness. "India is the world's second-largest chip design talent pool. The challenge is converting that into product companies that can compete globally," he said. The firm expects to announce a large investment in the chip design space in the coming weeks. While India's domestic deep tech market remains early, Subramaniam said the LP response and founder momentum point to a long-term inflection. "The ecosystem is maturing. There's plenty of pipeline. Now it's about patient capital and execution."
