Darshan Bhatt

Darshan Bhatt is a cross‑border venture builder and strategic advisor. He founded Ocrys Capital, a firm that provides venture‑building, capital, and advisory services to purpose‑driven founders across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey, and the UK. In 2021, he co‑founded DVM Capital alongside media entrepreneurs Vinit Mehta and Mohit Mehra, a $100 million fund focusing on media‑tech, technology, and gaming investments.

Bhatt’s professional focus lies at the intersection of digital media, technology, sports, and interactive entertainment. He has a particular interest in gaming and adjacent verticals that overlap with the iGaming and gambling industry. His public commentary often addresses topics such as esports, mobile gaming, and the convergence of sports, games, and media, as seen in his analysis of Appcharge’s Series A and the Saudi PIF’s acquisition of EA.

Through Ocrys Capital and DVM Capital, Bhatt actively invests in and supports founders in the gaming and media‑tech ecosystems. He positions himself as a thought leader within the broader iGaming industry, although his work is not exclusively focused on gambling. His cross‑border approach allows him to connect startups in emerging markets with capital and strategic guidance.
