About me

As the Co-founder and Managing Partner of SapphireInk Ventures, I bring to the table my expertise in identifying and investing in promising early stage startups in India. With my experience of investing close to 2M USD across several startups and funds, I have a deep understanding of the startup ecosystem in the country. Previously, I was a founding team member of a 8M USD early stage accelerator fund, where I built the end-to-end operations right from deal sourcing, to evaluation processes, due diligence and portfolio management. I was also the key decision maker in finalising the startups to be presented to the Investment committee. With my experience of reviewing over 3000+ startup decks and interacting with 500+ startup founders, I have honed my ability to listen patiently, analyze pitches and ask the right questions to gain clarity. My goal is to help founders maximize their probability of success by providing valuable and actionable intelligence to shape their pitch. I am not afraid to be brutally honest where required, and that may be tough to hear in the short term, but will ultimately help the startups to improve and excel. As someone who is deeply committed and passionate about the growth and success of early-stage startups, I welcome the opportunity to share my insights, skills, and experience with fellow entrepreneurs. If you are looking for an investor who is not just financially invested, but also has a keen interest in seeing your business succeed, I'd love to connect with you to explore synergies with SapphireInk VC. On my personal front, I'm always open to new ideas and conversations, and I'm passionate about nurturing meaningful relationships with founders to build successful and impactful businesses. So, if you're ready to take your startup to the next level, let's connect and see how I can help you achieve your goals.
