Debansh Sahoo — CEO
Professional: Investments Team | Tech Investor at Ankur Capital (Fund III: $150M) Based out of our Delhi office, I focus on backing early-stage technology startups from Seed to Series A. At Ankur Capital, we invest in companies transforming India’s core sectors, particularly across climate, industrial innovation, and the future of work. My work involves evaluating founders, pressure-testing business models, and identifying scalable opportunities where technology can drive structural change. 📩 debansh@ankurcapital.com Personal: I’m Debansh Sahoo, originally from Odisha (Rourkela & Bhubaneswar), with a global upbringing across Australia and the US. Having spent 18 of my 25 years across different countries, 12 schools, 2 universities, and 6 states, adaptability has been a constant theme in my life. Outside of work, you’ll find me running, lifting, experimenting with new cuisines, or in long conversations with a chaiwala, auto driver, or stranger turned friend. I’m deeply curious about how people live, build, struggle, and grow. Understanding different lived experiences isn’t just a habit it shapes how I see markets, systems, and opportunity. Curiosity, resilience, and pattern recognition.
