India GameChanger was joined by Abhishek Goenka, the Head and Chief Investment Officer at RPSG Capital Ventures. RPSG Capital Ventures is an early-stage, consumer VC fund focused on investing in the direct-to-consumer ecosystem.  Abhishek and I had a super conversation about the evolution, growth and current state of the investment landscape in India.

  • Spending his entire career as an investor in India
  • The experience gained through investing in multiple cycles
  • Investing into fundamentals and ignoring FOMO
  • The importance of research and knowing one's target market in depth
  • The core belief that Founders should be treated well
  • The excitement around building global brands from India
