Five seasoned entrepreneurs got together over a cup of coffee, driven by their shared vision of contributing to NEW INDIA's growth story. Their aspiration was to empower visionary entrepreneurs, harness their innovative potential, and foster the creation of enduring enterprises, drawing upon the reservoir of their own experiences. From this inspired gathering emerged the concept of initiating an early-stage growth fund, aimed at nurturing the ambitions of businesses and teams daring to envision grandeur. This consortium of entrepreneurs then joined forces with a cadre of esteemed investment professionals, distinguished as blue-chip luminaries in their field. Together, they embarked on the journey to craft a prominent investment platform, one that would serve as the crucible for entrepreneurial dreams to be forged into reality. Their collective dream? To propel India into the echelons of the “Innovation Capital of the World.”
