Mumbai, Bengaluru and New Delhi are nodal cities for private capital markets in the country which are home to emerging and established fund houses. In order to democratise the culture of learning and ensuring maximum participation for venture funds from across the country, each module will be anchored in each of the afore-mentioned cities.

Additionally, funds once they register can either have a representative to attend all three sessions or nominate three individuals from their team to attend these sessions for each of the three cities.

The programme has been designed end-to-end to cover all relevant themes necessary for first time fund managers. We encourage all participants to attend all the three sessions for an enriching learning and networking experience. Having said that, one may opt for one or two or all three modules as per his/her choice.

As mentioned earlier different members from the same fund can attend sessions in different cities, maximising knowledge sharing within your team.

Each module will be led by the industry experts of IVCA’s Venture Capital Councils who will be the mentors for the programme, and they are –

Anil Joshi, Managing Partner, Unicorn India Ventures
Manish Kheterpal, Founder & Managing Partner, WaterBridge Ventures
Priyanka Chopra, Chief Operating Officer, Managing Partner, Seed Investing, CIIE.CO, IIM Ahmedabad, & Venture Partner, Bharat Innovation Fund

Apart from the above mentioned names, there will be other leaders from the investing ecosystem who will be invited for special panel sessions and cocktail networking.

Each module will require your full-day participation. We have also organised for some interesting industry panels with guest speakers and cocktail networking in the evening. We advise participants to keep their schedules free for the entire day.

No, this programme will not involve assessments. On the completion of the programme each participant will be awarded certificates of participation.

The day-long programme will be a great way to learn and connect with your industry peers, mentors and special invitees. At the end of each module in every city, cocktail networking will be arranged for all mentors and mentees to participate and interact.

All travel & stay arrangements and costs will have to be borne and managed by the participants.

Since we plan to do this on-ground, there will be no provision for joining the sessions virtually.
