Investment Disclaimer
Important: This Disclaimer is provided as a working template. Because the regulatory framework for venture studios, investment platforms, and private market communications in India is evolving — and because the appropriate disclosures depend heavily on your specific business model, registration status (SEBI AIF / NBFC / advisory licence, etc.), and the audience you communicate with — please have this Disclaimer reviewed by qualified securities counsel before deploying it publicly.
This Disclaimer applies to all content published on xponents.io, including but not limited to information about Xponents Ventures Pvt. Ltd. ("Xponents"), our investment themes, portfolio companies, initiatives, case studies, research, and any other material we make available through our website or related communications.
1. No Investment Advice
The information contained on this Website is for general informational purposes only. It is not, and should not be construed as, investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security, financial instrument, or interest in any entity, fund, or scheme.
Xponents is not registered as an investment adviser, portfolio manager, or merchant banker under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulations unless expressly stated. The information on this Website should not be relied upon as the basis of any investment decision.
2. No Offer or Solicitation
Nothing on this Website constitutes an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security, fund interest, or other financial product, in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation would be unlawful, or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation.
Any actual offer to participate in any investment activity, partnership, or transaction with Xponents or any of its portfolio companies will be made only through formal offering documents and only to qualified investors meeting all applicable eligibility criteria under Indian securities laws and the laws of their respective jurisdictions.
3. Forward-Looking Statements
This Website contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our investment themes, planned initiatives, expected outcomes, market opportunities, and growth projections. These statements are based on our current expectations, beliefs, and assumptions, and involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties.
Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a wide range of factors including market conditions, regulatory developments, technology risks, execution risk, capital availability, geopolitical events, and other factors beyond our control. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
4. No Guarantee of Returns
Investment in venture-stage companies, private market assets, and emerging sectors involves significant risk, including the risk of total loss of principal. Past performance is not indicative of future results. No representation is made that any portfolio company will achieve any particular outcome, or that any investment thesis or strategy will be successful.
Specifically:
- Investments in early-stage companies are highly illiquid and may not be readily realisable
- The valuation of private market investments is inherently subjective and may not reflect realisable value
- A significant proportion of early-stage investments may not return capital, let alone generate profits
- Investors should be willing and able to bear the risk of total loss
5. Information About Portfolio Companies and Initiatives
Information published about Xponents initiatives, portfolio companies, and research projects is provided for transparency and informational purposes. Statements about progress, milestones, team size, revenue or growth metrics, and other operational data reflect our understanding at the time of publication and may not be current.
Statements made about specific companies do not constitute recommendations, endorsements, or solicitations to invest in those companies. Operational metrics shared (including ticker data, growth figures, and initiative status) are representational and subject to change.
6. Independent Advice
Before making any investment decision or entering into any transaction, you should consult with qualified independent professional advisors — including legal, tax, financial, and accounting advisors — to assess the suitability of any proposed action in light of your specific circumstances, objectives, and risk tolerance.
Xponents does not, and cannot, take into account the personal investment objectives, financial situation, or particular needs of any individual recipient of the information on this Website.
