Pankaj Chauhan — Co-Founder
Deeply excited about the future of the Indian Startup Ecosystem and always up for discussing hot topics. I started my first company, The Indian Wire, right out of high school, where we aimed to bring vernacular news to people in tier-2 and beyond. We were also one of the first digital publications to offer news in other Indian regional languages. At 23, I joined Backstage With Millionaires, as a co-founder, and have since built it as the leading voice of India's startup ecosystem. Through content, conversations, and collaboration, we aim to showcase the Indian startup ecosystem and explore innovative ways for non-institutional and individual investors to participate in India’s growth story. At 27, I co-founded Finanjo, where we are building an AI-powered personal finance assistant for young Indians. Finanjo’s mission is simple: to make money feel less overwhelming and help individuals build discipline and confidence in managing their finances.
