Sharing highlights from the recent event hosted by Beyond The Billion® (launched as The Billion Dollar Fund for Women®). This gathering was pivotal in discussing the crucial role women play in shaping India’s technological future.
The event spotlighted India’s "triple-A advantage": Age, Access, and Aspiration. This unique combination of a young population, increasing digital connectivity, and soaring ambitions is positioning our nation as a hotbed for innovation and talent.
Aarti Gupta, CIO of Family Office DM Gupta & Anikarth Ventures, was honoured to participate in a distinguished panel moderated by Sarah Chen-Spellings, co-founder of Beyond The Billion. Alongside esteemed leaders such as Vani Kola (MD, Kalaari Capital), Priya Mohan (Partner, General Catalyst), and Shuvi Shrivastava (Partner & Advisor, Lightspeed India), Aarti engaged in a thought-provoking discussion on "India's Evolving Venture Landscape: What's Next?"
This event not only celebrated the accomplishments of women in venture capital but also emphasized the importance of fostering an inclusive ecosystem where female leaders can thrive.
Together, let's continue to support and uplift women in the venture capital space!
