The People Group owner added, “My personal statistics are committed 5.4 Crs in 24 Cos, 70% are led by Youngpreneurs, 50% by Womenpreneurs & 30% in companies founded by Couples and Familes. (Appears like our People Interactive purpose of ‘#Togetherness’ is permeating into my investing choices as well). Anyway, I couldn’t be more proud of contributing to #IncredibleIndia and our amazingly passionate entrepreneurs. The wheels are turning, and India is at the forefront of this revolution. Last year, we had the highest ever inflow of PE/VC Capital and I expect this year will be better. This is #india2022, let’s seize it.”
