I've been building or investing in businesses for the past 12 years. I'm currently a Principal @ Artha Venture Fund, focused on early stage investments (seed - series A) in India.
The highlights:
- Ran a single family office for the Sutariya family, based in Bombay, investing across India & SEA
Portfolio highlights include Wellness Forever, Fareye Technologies, Posist (40%+ IRR)
- Scaled Zilingo across 5 geographies, $100mn P&L responsibility with a team of 60, raised $280mn for the business
- Founded a SaaS startup in the auto insurance space (exited)
- Led Sales and Account Management for Janio, acquiring and managing clients like Disney, Swarovski, Nike
Real highlights:
- Made many many mistakes
- Had sleepless nights when our runway was less than 1 month
- Heard no from 80+ funds
- Wished I had quietly joined a 'safe' career path on occasion
