Kashish Grover — Co-Founder
I’ve always felt that building a company is a lot like a long hike. It requires stamina, a reliable map, and the resilience to keep moving when the path gets steep. With over a decade of experience, sharpened by my time at Kellogg, I have spent my career navigating that path, bridging the gap between strategy and execution. My journey so far: Most recently, I led Orington & Partners, advising businesses on growth, capital and management strategy. Before that, I got my hands dirty as a Founding Member and COO at LegalPay. I loved that role because it wasn’t just about management; it was about product and execution. I helped build India’s leading legal financing solution from scratch, scaling operations and innovating in a highly regulated market. My foundation was built in the rigorous worlds of Goldman Sachs and PwC. Those early years taught me the language of finance, valuation, and what makes a business model sustainable. What I bring to the table = I sit at the intersection • I understand the numbers (Finance background). • I know how to build and launch (Startup Ops background). • I know how to lead teams through ambiguity (Leadership experience). I am deeply passionate about the startup ecosystem. I love reading about new tech, meeting founders, and brainstorming how to solve the next big problem. Whether you want to discuss product strategy, brainstorm a new idea, or just swap recommendations for a great hiking trail, I’d love to hear from you.
