Hi Deepak I gues sit depends what stage your business is in. As for each and every stage there would be a different type of VC (Venture Capitalist) / Investor

The best way to start I would say is to look at potential incubators within your area and presenting to them. Have a thorough read and research them what is their investment strategy. DO not just look for funding, but also what benefit these investors can bring to your start up. 

Are there any growth funds / VCs within your city, I would start contacting them and exploring options. All of the VC websites have contact forms or idea submission forms, which you should use. However a more effective way is to network with them or finding out within your network if you know of any who have an investment stratgey of funding start ups within the auto sector or digital tech sector.

 

What you would definitely need is a pitch, which talks about your business idea, what is the  addressable market, how oes your business address the market requirements, how do you sell in that market, what money you would make, what is the growth potential and what money multiple return would the investors make? IF you can answer these questions in a format of a pitch presentation, I am sure VCs and investors will be keen to partner with you

To be honest there isnt any specific period or time, you could go to them even at inception stage or concept stage or at launch stage, it all depends whether they see your idea as a potential to generate returns and they believe in your as management to deliver those returns

Good luck in your fund raising
