It's with mixed feelings that I move on from Jubilant Bhartia Group which I joined 5 years ago to set up and run the investment arm for the group. It's been a great time partnering with founders / businesses both external and internal and more importantly a great opportunity to learn, contribute and forge lasting relationships.After close to two decades of advising and investing in businesses, I'm now very excited to build 108 Capital, a growth stage venture capital fund focusing on category leading future ready technology businesses, primarily focused on series B and series C.As long time friends Nimesh Kampani, Sushma Kaushik and I come together as Founding Partners at 108 Capital, we look forward to partnering with founders with great dedication, single minded focus and work ethics, businesses with a moat and sound economics and which in the process may also deliver triple bottom line.Please feel free to reach out to me at ps@108.vc
