Mentorship motivation
- I like to learn about industries and new businesses
- I want to give back to the startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs coming up
- I want to make new connections for myself and/or the organization I represent
- I want to scout for new opportunities in engaging as an advisor or for a board seat
I was a student entrepreneur when I started my entrepreneurial journey. I have seen a ton of startups growing closely. I have been an advisor to a lot of startups and have been head of India’s best student startup accelerator program at Deshpande Startups.
I have learned the knack of picking really good entrepreneurs, and startups and helping them to cruise their 0-1 journey. I believe VC4A is an opportunity for me to share my experience and learnings with a wide range of startups and help them to maximize their success.
