Connect with me

As a venture capitalist, my greatest joy comes from working with resilient founders. I see entrepreneurs tackling tough challenges with innovation to build strong businesses step by step. Their passion and vision are what India needs, and that’s what drives me.

In detailed sessions with our portfolio companies, we work as an extension of their team. For me, investing is a means to an end—the end game is collaborating with exciting entrepreneurs and teams to build great products and businesses.

‘Ability to think far and deep, is a critical mindset. Using that vision to create deep capabilities within the organisation, is in my mind a recipe of how successful and sustainable businesses are built.’ - Pankaj Makkar, MD, BII
