Summary
As a passionate leader in sustainability and innovation, I have dedicated my career to launching and scaling transformative ventures across diverse sectors, including consumer goods, industrial technology, agrifood, and fintech. Today, I serve as Managing Partner at InnoSphere Ventures, a venture fund focused on early-stage Indian tech ventures with global impact potential. We back bold founders solving real problems at the intersection of deep tech, systems thinking, and SDG-aligned innovation — from climate to health, mobility to education. With over a decade of entrepreneurial experience, I’ve successfully founded and led multiple businesses, gaining deep insights into the startup ecosystem and venture capital. My experience includes structuring investment vehicles, advising climate innovation funds, and mentoring purpose-driven entrepreneurs across continents. Academically, I studied at Harvard Kennedy School and the University of St. Gallen (HSG), with a focus on finance, accounting, and controlling. I also hold a certification as an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Analyst, underscoring my commitment to responsible and sustainable investing. Through platforms like Nectar, I translate complex systems and ideas into meaningful narratives — making insight accessible, memorable, and actionable for change makers. As a Non-Executive Board Member at Kraftwerk1, I support mission-driven organizations with financial governance and strategic direction. I’m driven by the belief that sustainable business models and innovative capital are essential to addressing global challenges — and that every venture is an opportunity to shape a better future. Let’s connect if you’re building, funding, or exploring the next frontier of impact. 🚀 Now Launching: Nectar GPT – Your AI Guide for Personal Storytelling & Growth https://chatgpt.com/g/g-67b74f01b1d08191a55ac41ba682de0d-nectar-gpt
