In an exclusive interview with Analytics India Magazine, Som Pal Choudhury talks in-depth about the history of the founders, the origination of the fund, the philosophy behind investing in startups, and how their firm stands out for startups building tech for India.
The story of the fund dates back to 2005, when Upadhyay founded the Incubation Centre at IIM Ahmedabad, CIIE and then subsequently put forth the idea of starting a fund in 2013. The team comes from a diverse background of some being in the investment field, some from operations, and some from technical backgrounds—making the firm ideal for analysing and supporting startups.
