Paradigm Shift Capital

Enjoyed my interview about the state of the Indian startup and VC ecosystem, especially about diversity in the ecosystem and our view at Paradigm Shift Capital on new emerging technologies! ???????? Our vision and thesis from Day 1 has been to back ambitious Founders building products for the World, and we see that becoming more mainstream every single day - and for good reason! Thanks for the opportunity, Women Entrepreneurs Review.

Just met Tim Cook here in the Bay Area! ?? What an INCREDIBLE day! Nothing quite like meeting the top tech exec in the World and the CEO of your most favourite company!? He's such a down-to-earth person?, told him about our work and how we back Founders building products for the World here at Paradigm Shift Capital! ????????? Dhruv Washishth | Govind Mundhra

To be called "Co-founder Investors" is one of the very best compliments a VC could get from their portfolio Founder! ?? ?? We started Paradigm Shift Capital with exactly this aim in mind - to make a real impact in the lives of the Founders we back, and have them genuinely view us as Partners whom they can co-build with. Hearing these words from Angad brings us back to Day 1 and why we do what we do! ?? As ex-Operators and Entrepreneurs who've worked across 3 large Unicorns,?Govind, Dhruv and I knew the startup ecosystem lacked a team of VCs that had actually 'been there, done that', and this gap led to the inception of Paradigm Shift Capital! ??

I often say that Praan is blessed to have some incredible investors! Paradigm Shift Capital invested in our company in December 2021, and we're so grateful to have had them almost be co-founder investors: Very up to date, responsive, helpful, and look at problems as if they were their own. Generally, most investors make the wire and forget about the investment till it's time to check in once in a quarter. PSC is the exact opposite - they are up to speed, motivate you to dream big, to remember the vision and impact commitments made (beyond the basic commerce), and to operate as the absolute best in the world! I hope more and more founders get the opportunity to work with them!

Paradigm Shift invests in Praan ?? It's time to speak about the first climate tech investment we made at Paradigm Shift Capital. Air pollution is a major problem around the world! Praan is building the world’s most advanced filterless air purification systems to combat this monumental existential challenge! We've written about how this talented engineer-inventor-founder started a company based on his lived experience of dealing with air pollution as a kid growing up in Mumbai! Angad Daryani has built the most advanced air purification systems in the world and his products can be seen across some of the largest industries and homes across India and around the world! In this piece, we talk about how the investment happened, how much progress Praan has made, and plans for the future. Excited for you to read it! Dhruv Washishth | Govind Mundhra
