Building Right: Aparna Veer’s Way of Turning Vision into Reality

Aparna Veer believes enduring companies are built not on speed or spectacle, but on structure. Drawing from engineering, corporate leadership, and startup ecosystems, she approaches entrepreneurship as a systems discipline; one where attention, alignment, and governance determine whether vision becomes reality. For her, the true test of leadership is not how fast a company grows, but whether its design can sustain growth without losing coherence.

The Thinking Investor: Vandana Tolani’s Theory of Responsible Capitalism

Vandana Tolani views capital not as fuel for growth, but as a test of character. Across decades of advising founders and investors, she has seen how money amplifies behavior: rewarding clarity, exposing confusion, and accelerating whatever already exists beneath the surface. For her, responsible capitalism is not about valuation or velocity, but about discipline, predictability, and the ability to build trust that endures beyond market cycles. In a world awash with capital, she argues, the real differentiator is not access to money, but the wisdom to use it well.

Beyond Valuation: Tushar Kansal on Redefining Capital for the Global South

Tushar Kansal decodes the behavioral DNA of modern capital. His thesis is precise: nations do not grow powerful by chasing foreign funding but by engineering financial systems that mirror their own temperament. India’s ascent, he argues, hinges on a new capital doctrine built on transparency, time, and trust. The question he leaves for the Global South is both strategic and moral: can we build markets that reflect our character, not our dependencies?

The Patient Capital Paradox: Sarjeet Yadav on Redefining Venture Capital for Sovereignty

Colonel (Retd.) Sarjeet Yadav, a decorated combat veteran turned defense tech investor, views risk not as the enemy of safety but as an opportunity that must be deliberately designed and mitigated—lessons forged in counterinsurgency and now applied to strategic investing. He backs only founders who deeply understand the soldier-user, build true sovereign capability (beyond mere assembly), and practice “active patience” through rigorous milestones, while rejecting consumer-style timelines that dilute deep-tech defense products. In an incomplete ecosystem, his core discipline remains “holding ground”: structured endurance with purpose, because India’s technological sovereignty will be earned through decades of credibility, not quarters of hype.

Lower Entry, Higher Exit: The Architecture of Angel Capital According to Dhiraj Kumar Sinha

Dhiraj Kumar Sinha blends a lawyer’s precision with an operator’s intuition, backing founders not with spreadsheets but with belief, dialogue, and disciplined entry. His philosophy reframes angel investing as 30% capital and 70% presence scaffolding built to support resilience, resolve ego clashes, and guide founders through ambiguity. By entering low, exiting high, and keeping trust at the center, he proves that in early-stage ventures, conversations compound faster than capital.
