Ashim Jolly — Co-Founder
I wear many hats: seasoned operator, angel investor, and venture builder. My story is one of growth and scaling, spanning diverse sectors and geographies and I have left my mark at companies like Jio-Haptik and WeWork, shaping their success stories. I roll up my sleeves to craft business strategies, ignite sales operations, forge impactful partnerships, and secure essential funding. It's all about lighting the way for budding entrepreneurs. Outside of the startup world, I'm a fitness enthusiast. But I also know that sleep and wellness are the unsung heroes of peak productivity. In the end, it's not just about business; it's about crafting a story that leaves a lasting impact. As I always say and believe, "Innovation is the key to progress, and entrepreneurs are the architects of the future. So, let's keep building." GPT avatar of my bio sounds even more exciting~ Ashim builds startups like IKEA builds furniture—fast, sharp, and with a master plan. Ex-COO at Haptik (yes, the one Reliance scooped up for $100M) and dealmaker at WeWork India. Now jamming at 26ideas, a venture studio that co-founds like a boss and invests like a VC. Loves zero-to-one chaos, angel investing, and probably has a pitch deck open at all times.
