About

As the Founder of Valence Growth Partners, my vision is for enable businesses to unlock growth by creating long-lasting bonds. I work with PE/VC funds, founders & promoters, and family offices navigating private markets. I started my journey as part of the founding team of an F&B venture. A few failures and pivots later, I exited the business after helping build it into one of India’s leading ice-cream brands. I continued to build my experience working with consumer brands at KMPG, leading digital transformation for clients around the world. After graduating with a Master’s from LSE, I joined Omidyar Network as an investor, evaluating and investing in new-age technology businesses across India and the USA. Having personally observed the stark contrast between the way private market transactions were run globally versus in India, I started Valence Growth Partners to bridge the gap between founders and investors betting on the India story.
