Suhail is a big believer in the India story, especially the story of the Indian consumer! He loves all things brand, and thinks of himself as some sort of a marketing genius.
Suhail built Too Yumm! into the fastest consumer brand to hit INR 500 Cr revenues, led the growth of BharatPe from pre-revenue days to one of the largest financial services brands in the country, and has been deeply involved in multiple other successful consumer stories. So, not all talk of marketing maverick is ill-founded!
When Suhail is not getting excited by the next big consumer opportunity in India, he loves traveling. He used to be a scuba diving instructor (before he burst his ear, literally). And these days, is often seen hiking through the Himalayas, or making cocktails on a beach.
True to his Punjali genes, Kunal loves food! So much that he led a food company before he sold it to Ola. He also loves distributed (and complicated) operations! Big numbers, large teams, multi-city operations, micro-market differentiation get him salivating!
From investing in companies, to helping companies scale (at McKinsey), to scaling a large food service company, and eventually building India’s largest influencer led commerce business (simsim, which was acquired by Google!!), and now back to investing – Kunal has come full circle.
Kunal loves to meet people and learn from them. His calendar is usually full of meeting founders, investors, play dates with his 2 children, friends, friends of friends, and so on. Guess a part of it is for his love of food. He is also big into fitness. Though he spends more time recovering from exercise injuries than actually exercising!
Saurabh is all things technology! He loves showing it off, he loves talking about it, he loves building in it. He especially thrives at the intersection of consumer and tech. This comes at a cost – having to be the default CTO (err, IT Head) of our fund!
He has built in tech all his life. From being an early employee at technology rockstar company (Trilogy), working with some of the largest tech enterprises during his tenure at McKinsey, building the commerce platform at Paytm (Paytm Mall), to building the market leader in influencer commerce at simsim (with Kunal).
When he is not fidgeting with the latest gadgets or apps, or trying to recover lost sleep (from dropping his daughter to swimming classes at 5 am), he has developed a new found love for hiking. Nothing below 6k metres though – that’s too blasse!
Tejas is fascinated by businesses – particularly the grit and determination of founders. Growing up in an entrepreneurial family, he witnessed firsthand the challenges and triumphs that shape companies. More than being a fan of setbacks (weirdly), he finds the comeback story one of the most satisfying parts of the journey.
Tejas has spent most of his career engaging with founders at LetsVenture and Propell Fund. Along the way, he’s worn many hats: from finance and strategy to new product development, marketing, and operations. He’s gained a 360-degree view of what makes businesses tick. Ironically, he started his career auditing these very functions at Deloitte, giving him a unique perspective on the inner workings of startups and scale-ups.
When Tejas isn’t talking to founders or reading Jeff Bezos’s shareholder letters, you’ll probably find him glued to a cricket match or checking out the latest and greatest food places in town. Lately, he’s swapped his cricket bat for a yoga mat – not so much for the calories, but for the zen.
