Can Not Can’t: On How To Nail The Snowball Effect Of Social Media And Hold Meetings At The Right Places

Kola is a renowned investor, a visionary known for identifying emerging markets and the managing director of Bengaluru-based early stage venture capital firm Kalaari Capital. After being a successful serial entrepreneur in the Silicon Valley for 22 years, she moved back to India to get involved in the startup ecosystem, when the entrepreneurial landscape was still in its early years.

Her investment philosophy includes recognizing and mentoring young, ambitious first-time entrepreneurs and helping them scale up. Through these years, she has established momentous returns to her investors and enabled new paradigms for Indian consumers.

Forever a champion of Indian startup ecosystem, she stems out by saying, “Indian entrepreneurs have proven they can create high growth, capital efficient, high velocity businesses – the vitamins for the venture capital industry”

The venture capitalist believes that nation’s digital opportunity is still at a nascent stage with the Indian VC industry perfectly placed to capitalize from supporting an increasing number of entrepreneurs looking to build products and services for a growing and aspirational population.

Kola-led Kalaari claims to be invested in focusing on early-stage technology-oriented startups in India. It is derived from Kalaripyattu, a form of martial arts with origins in Kerala. Both Kola and her business partner felt this name justified their vision with regards to their venture.
