In this episode, Inside IvyCap Ventures, we are joined by Dr. Anju Gupta, Partner at IvyCap Ventures, India’s leading homegrown venture capital firm.

Joining her in conversation are Shashvat Somany, Founder of SIG Tattva and Head of Strategy at Somany Impresa Group, and Sriharsha Bandaluppi, Head of SIG Tattva.

Together, they explore:

· What it takes to build a long-term, homegrown venture capital institution

· Why value creation matters more than valuation — and why IvyCap focuses on building “Dragons,” not just Unicorns

· How mentorship, governance, and execution shape successful founders

· The role of academia, industry, capital, and endowments in building India’s innovation ecosystem

· Where India’s next wave of growth will come from — across consumer, deep tech, and India-to-the-world innovation

A thoughtful conversation on venture capital beyond funding — focused on institutions, ecosystems, and outcomes that last.
