Job Description
The Opportunity:
- We are building a long-term venture franchise in India and were looking for a General Partner to lead it with conviction.
- This is not a satellite role or a caretaker mandate. You will own India end-to-end: the thesis, the relationships, the investments, and the outcomes. You will be trusted to think independently, move decisively, and build something enduring for founders and LPs alike.
- We are a global venture platform with patient capital and high standards. India is a core pillar of our future, and this role is for someone who wants to shape the future, not just participate in it.
What Youll Own:
- Full India mandate: Build and run India operations across investing, fund execution, and portfolio engagement
- End-to-end investing: Source proprietary opportunities, lead deep diligence, drive IC conviction, execute decisively, and stay close through value creation
- Founder-first network building: Earn trust with exceptional founders, operators, and ecosystem leaders not through volume, but through signal
- Operator-led value creation: Act as a true partner to portfolio companies hands-on when needed, invisible when not
- Data with judgment: Use metrics, models, and pattern recognition to inform decisions, while knowing when to lean on instinct
- Relentless outcomes: Treat capital like its your own; move with urgency, accountability, and ownership
Who You Are:
- A high-conviction investor with a real track record not just activity, but outcomes
- Deeply networked in the startup ecosystem, with the ability to create proprietary deal flow
- Exceptionally strong with numbers, unit economics, and financial models
- An operator at heart someone who has built, scaled, or run businesses, not just studied them
- Experience in gaming or interactive entertainment is a strong plus, but not a requirement
- Comfortable making hard calls with incomplete information and standing by them
How You Show Up:
- Execution-first, not consensus-driven
- High ownership, high intensity, high integrity
- Resilient in downturns, calm in chaos, decisive under pressure
- Motivated by building something meaningful, not just a title
Why This Role Matters:
- India is entering a defining decade for technology, media, and interactive experiences. This role is for someone who wants to be in the arena shaping companies, backing founders early, and building a venture platform that compounds over time.
- If youre looking for comfort, this isnt it.
- If youre looking for impact, trust, and the chance to build a legacy, we should talk.
