More about Aswani Chaitanya N

I'm an entrepreneur turned VC with 15+ years of corporate experience, including leadership roles at Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs (USA & UK). Before Capital-A, I founded and scaled Timios, a healthy snack brand for kids.

With experience as a founder and an investor, I get the intricacies of business from both sides. Let's connect and create lasting value together.

..

Capital-A is THE start-up for start-ups – a venture fund for seed to early stage meaningful start-ups. We are here for founders and co-founders who eat, sleep and drink their business.

We’re always there to work alongside these passionate people, and not above them, to help them succeed. Our aspiration is to either lead the round, or be in the game as co-investors. Nothing less suffices. The fund is led by Ankit Kedia, former promoter of Manjushree Technopack Ltd., the largest manufacturers of rigid plastics packaging in the entire South Asia region. The company was divested to Advent International in 2018.

Signing up on our website is completely free! If you encounter any issues with profile or notice something unusual, please don't hesitate to report it to us. We're here to help ensure a smooth and secure experience.
