Harsha Venkatesh — Co-Founder

I am the co-founder of Dwaith, a SEBI-registered Portfolio Management Service & Investment Fund, Wealthnest.AI, an AI focused wealth app and Zepco Technologies, a design firm specializing in motors, drives, and power electronics-based products. A significant investor in Power One Microsystems, one of India's oldest Industrial UPS, Solar, EV, and Storage companies, I support their "Made-in-India" mission to make solar and power protection products affordable. A strong believer in India’s growth story, I collaborate with young, visionary entrepreneurs across sectors like electronics, software, EMS, and energy, supporting their ventures as an investor. With a background in technology and business management in the semiconductor and solar industries, I am passionate about analyzing business models and growth drivers across diverse industries. I owe much to the leadership at Cypress Semiconductor (now Infineon), who enabled me to travel to 50+ countries for work, broadening my understanding of global diversity. A decade spent in Germany and the USA further shaped my perspectives on quality and a growth-oriented mindset. I’m a passionate learner, value investor, and lifelong student, inspired by Buffett, Munger, and Pabrai. An avid reader (even if I collect books faster than I read them!), I occasionally blog at https://harshav.blogspot.com/
