I don't have a burning problem that I want to solve for yet, in the long term, but rather I want to aid in solving for many problems that really matter to me for creating impact. Capital is an important commodity to help cater to solutions which are solving for huge problems. That's why i am in venture investing, to be on the ringside of the many problems that i want to solve for.

2. Describe your workday and leisure day, how does it look like.

Work day: In short, a lot of reading and being privileged to chat with super smart people(read founders of amazing startups trying to solve for pressing problems through breakthrough technology)

Leisure Day and work day: the line is pretty blurry. But, trying to get back to reading fiction.

3. What is your view on the future of India as a market?

Regarding the future of India, we are just getting started. But l, lots to do not only in terms of building, but also in terms of infrastructure to enable founders to build breakthrough technology to create impact globally. Also, we need government intervention in terms of grants and capacity building.

4. Help describe your investment thesis and ideas you would like to back.

Bullish on alt protein, synthetic bio, new chemistries and enablers of existing chemistry energy, bio-energy etc. across spectrums focused on sustainability.

5. What are your 5 key learnings from your experience as a venture investor.

A) Patience, patience and patience. 

B) A lot of  Humility.  

C) Someone  super important in my life once told me that it's important to know oneself, to know who you are and what motivates you- a kind of multidimensional self-awareness also influenced by past events leading to developing an appetite for taking risk, which often drives what you want to back/invest in, and then you need to constantly improve on it. I'm nowhere close to that, but I'm at it. 

D) learning to be OK to let go

Still learning... 

6. Books or Blogs you would like to recommend entrepreneurs.

One book if i can think of for founders/builders.  "Build by Tony Fadell". It's something I would go back to. It talks just not about how to build great products, but also how to make sure how to pick what you want to build, and many other amazing nuggets of wisdom
