I build 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 is a 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹, 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗲-𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 of investors, entrepreneurs, and deal-makers who value 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 over volume and noise.

The network is built around 𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘅𝗶 (关系) – the idea that long-term relationships outperform short-term transactions. When reputation compounds, capital follows.

We connect people across 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵, 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲, 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆, 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, and emerging sectors to:

- Source 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄
- Align 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 with strategic capital
- Enable 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

This is 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲.

If we connect, expect conversations about:

- 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀
- 𝗔𝗿𝘁, 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗵𝘆
- Building systems where 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱

My take: capital is abundant. Trust is scarce.

The Venture Network is designed for the second.

Co-Founder

Co-founded Venture Starters together with the serial entrepreneur Mark November.

We launched Venture Starters about three months ago with the idea that networking is the key to the success of every startup and early-stage company.

Mark November has been investing in startups for more than 45 years and while the first 25 years were investing in his own ideas, the next 20 years have been about others'.

Venture Starters is where the people who start ventures can meet every Wednesday night for a large-scale zoom meeting with up to 500 attendees.

We just got started and we are pleased that we have over 100 attendees most nights. We plan to grow the community and attendance this fall to even greater heights!

Generally, we have 25 startups do a 2-minute elevator pitch and investors ask a few questions.

The actual networking happens in the Chat section where all attendees can reach out to each other including the founders who give 2-minute elevator pitches. 

It’s working!

One of the early-stage companies who gave a 2-minute elevator pitch to raise $1M - $3M during the last two Wednesday events had 15 people reach out to him. 15! 

And the Venture Starters community is growing daily!

Our Venture Starters company page on Linkedin has over 2200 followers and we are getting between 1 or 2 new ones every hour, 24 hours a day. This means that we will probably reach 3,000 within the next 30-45 days. 5,000 is not far behind. 

Venture Starters events are open to the public and free to attend. You can register at www.VentureStarters.com.

As Head of the ZEISS Innovation Hub Chennai, I am translating technology to applications with my team. We emphasize user-centered design and collaborative problem-solving to support technology-inspired innovation.  

My educational foundation includes an MBBS degree from Maharashtra University of Health Sciences and a postgraduate certificate in Leadership in Medicine from Harvard Medical School. With an MBA in Strategy and Finance at NMIMS and pursuing a PMP certification, I am motivated by a passion for mentoring and empowering physicians and entrepreneurs to create impactful healthtech solutions.
