Investor of the Month: Punit Shah
A candid, small-room conversation with one of India's most experienced venture debt investors - Punit Shah, Managing Partner at Alteria Capital.
About the Speaker Punit Shah personally closed the venture debt deals for Oyo, AgroStar and BlackBuck - back when venture debt was not yet a category most founders understood. He is now Managing Partner at Alteria Capital, India's leading venture debt fund, which became Asia's fastest to cross $750M in startup debt funding. Alteria's portfolio includes Ather Energy, Ultrahuman, Bluestone, Country Delight and Zepto. Before Alteria, Punit spent years at InnoVen Capital, where he personally led 75+ venture debt investments.
What to Expect This session goes past the headlines and into the mechanics of what actually happens after a founder signs a term sheet. Expect a real, unfiltered conversation covering:
Format The event is deliberately kept to a small room for a genuine conversation rather than a stage-style keynote, with room for audience questions and direct interaction with the speaker.
Who It's For Founders, co-founders and early-stage entrepreneurs evaluating venture debt as a funding route; finance and strategy leads at growth-stage startups; and investors or ecosystem operators who want a practitioner's view of the Indian venture debt market.
Details
Seats are limited and the event is expected to fill up, so early registration is recommended.
About the Series Investor of the Month is a recurring meetup format that brings active Indian investors into an intimate setting to share how they actually evaluate, negotiate and deploy capital - giving founders direct access to the people writing the cheques.
