Rishi Bali
Entrepreneur & Investor: Founder/CEO | OPCO.AI | YOGASMOGA |
About me
Hello, I’m Rishi Bali, an advisor, entrepreneur, and investor with a passion for building transformative solutions in finance, wellness, and technology. My entrepreneurial journey began with founding YOGASMOGA, a consumer brand where I led the company to a $150mm valuation. We expanded our footprint with 15 retail stores across California, Connecticut, and New York, and employed over 100 talented individuals. Our operations included factories on the West Coast in California and in Massachusetts, with offices in New York, California, and India. In parallel, I co-founded OPCO.AI, where we are reimagining the financial landscape with AI-driven transformation layers for asset managers. Our goal is to empower financial professionals to leverage cutting-edge technology for better decision-making and enhanced client outcomes. Additionally, I’ve been an angel investor, making seed investments in innovative ideas within the finance and consumer spaces. This experience has given me deep insights into the challenges entrepreneurs face, and I’ve been fortunate to support and invest in their journeys. My involvement in building strategies around startups has been both rewarding and enlightening. Before diving into entrepreneurship, I honed my skills in structured finance, hedge funds, and private equity at prestigious institutions like Goldman Sachs, UBS Dillon Read, and Citigroup. Additionally, I’m passionate about giving back to the community through the Namaskar Foundation, a nonprofit I co-founded to foster corporate social responsibility. I’m excited to connect with you, share insights, and offer guidance based on my experiences across various industries and ventures. Let’s embark on a journey of growth and transformation together!
