Quotes

Anirudh Damani

MD of Artha Group

“There is a lot of enthusiasm within family offices to participate in the Indian startup ecosystem. They may not want to take all the risk of seed, so they've decided to back something that is a winners-only fund.”

“Not every company is meant to scale or be venture fundable… If a company is a great business but cannot achieve exponential scale, venture capital may not be the right fit.”
