About

A former national champion in India and a professional tennis player. Before moving back to India in 2019, I spent ~10 years in the US playing college tennis, studying and working in venture and tech. I moved back to India in 2019 because I wanted to be part of the India growth story, and since then, I've been helping others to be part of it through the 1947 Rise Fund and 1947 Rise Podcast. Before starting the 1947 Rise Fund, I led business development, helped AngelList expand into India, and become the largest investor in the country I also made early-stage investments through GGV Capital as the only scout in India. 1947 Rise is India's only fund focused on backing reverse brain drain talent and highly ambitious Indian tech entrepreneurs. 1947 Rise is backed by one of the world's best GPs, founders, and operators. We write $100k cheques at the pre-seed and seed stages. For more (http://bit.ly/3LoMqmb) You can reach me on Twitter : @shivassangwan
