Manish Khurana — Co-Founder
As the Founder of Innovations Venture Studio and LMD2 Capadvisors, I operate at the intersection of capital, conviction, and nation-building — backing high-impact, ethics-driven ventures that solve real problems and scale sustainable outcomes. Whether co-creating startups from the ground up or steering SME scale-ups toward public markets, I adopt a hands-on, founder-first approach that blends mentorship, structured capital, and deep market alignment. Grounded in my roots as a trustee in education & social welfare, I bring a value system that informs every investment decision — from early-stage deal origination to co-investing with VCs, family offices, and institutions across India and beyond. Through Innovations, we’ve architected models that mobilize private capital for public-good outcomes — from our seed investments to SME-IPO strategies, defence-tech JVs, and green economy plays. I am passionate about building customer-centric organizations that innovate along the value-cost curve — where profitability meets purpose, and resilience meets reinvention. "Shaped by global insights at London Business School (Executive Alumni) and grounded by roots at IBS Hyderabad. Recognized for contributions to venture building and funding strategy via "Economic Times Young Achievers Award – Excellence in Funding Strategy" & "Radio City Venture Investor of the Year." Failures have taught me more than success ever could. I believe every stumble sharpens strategy and that integrity-led innovation is how we’ll build a stronger, self-reliant Bharat. Let’s co-create ventures that matter.
