Biography

Saison Capital is an early-stage venture capital fund (pre-seed to Series B) with a focus on India, Brazil and SEA. We back ambitious founders solving big problems, primarily in fintech. We are also an active LP and are invested in a number of emerging managers.

We are backed by Credit Saison, a Tokyo-listed, $30B AUM consumer finance company with extensive financial services across Asia. Find out more at www.saisoncapital.com.

I am the Managing Partner at Saison Capital, and drive our direct investments and LP commitments.

Prior to Saison, I spent 7+ years as a part of the commercial leadership teams of 2 startups in their hyper-growth phase – Lazada in 2014 and Grofers (now Blinkit) in 2015. I started my career as an M&A Lawyer at Amarchand Mangaldas and was subsequently a Consultant at the Boston Consulting Group.
