Gagan Goyal — CEO

General Partner at India Quotient, where I focus on identifying and scaling early-stage startups that solve deep-rooted problems in India through technology and frugal innovation. As an entrepreneur-turned-investor, I am passionate about supporting founders as a "buddy" who understands the roller-coaster journey of building a category-defining business from scratch. Venture Capital Leadership (2017–Present): I specialise in pre-seed and seed-stage opportunities across consumer hardware, SaaS, fintech, and ed-tech, prioritising product-market fit over vanity metrics. Entrepreneurial Exit (2016): Successfully exited ThinkLABS, a pioneering STEM and robotics ed-tech company I founded. Built a high-energy, IP-driven culture that transformed hands-on learning for students across India. Strategic Angel Investing: Active early-stage investor with a portfolio of over 20 startups, including notable names like Housing.com, Fynd, Chaayos, and Zeno Health, securing multiple high-impact exits. Philanthropy & STEM Education: Deeply involved in the "Olympics of Robotics" via FIRST Global since 2016. Established the STEM Education Trust to mentor talented students from underserved backgrounds, helping them compete and win on the world stage. I am an IIT Bombay graduate driven by the mission to make the Indian startup ecosystem more efficient, sane, and impactful.
