Entrepreneurs turned VCs discuss what matters most while Funding in India

Venture capitalists are often seen as the ones just playing around with money. But on the ground, there seems to be a change brewing for good, where funding is done with a vision for a better India, a greater impact, and a wonderful ecosystem of entrepreneurs. I have Sanjay Ramakrishnan, Founder & General Partner of Multiply Ventures, and Rohit M A, Founder of CloudNine Hospitals and Managing Partner of Peer Capital join me to discuss the scope of investing in India, especially in Health while unpacking their journeys, philosophies and learning from the space of Entrepreneurship and Venture Capitalism. This is a conversation so close to me, as I am constantly in conversation with founders looking for guidance and backing in the health and wellness space. You'll love this!
