Our portfolio Kazam gets $8M #funding 

That’s a fantastic news but the grind & hustle behind it is the real story.

Kazam is a full stack EV energy management startup… and covers full range of EV charging infrastructure, energy distribution, monetisation and upscaling. Despite their continuous growth and acquiring big clients, their Series A round of $4M was going slow, thanks to funding winter & global slowdown.

But they kept on going … must have done 300+ meetings and deep engagement with investors while in parallel keeping the business momentum going… for good 10 months. Lot of rejection and mixed response. And finally in last few months the hardwork paid and they start closing on-going discussion at speed. So much so that they end up raising double the target … and finally closing $8M. 

And it doesn’t stopped there, we are flooded with more investment offers. We were lucky that we have invested in them from first round till this last round. And we would continue backing them in future too. 

It’s just the start for their bright big impact venture … superbly led by Akshay Shekhar Vaibhav Tyagi & Paras Shah 👍

🚀 India's Investment Momentum Is Unstoppable 🇮🇳

According to Axios, India has captured the highest share (37%) of overall exit value across global markets outside North America and Europe in the past 18 months—surpassing even China, which accounted for 29%.

Here’s a snapshot of India’s incredible exit performance:
- Public Market Exits: $12.9 billion in 2023, $8.1 billion in H1 2024
- Secondaries: $6.6 billion in 2023, $2.2 billion in H1 2024
- Strategic M&A: $5.8 billion in 2023, $1.1 billion in H1 2024

With its powerful combination of demographics and democracy, India is set to be a key player in the global economy for years to come. Sure, there will be bumps along the way, but going long on India this century is one of the easiest macro bets one can make. 📈

Despite watching fewer sports as I age, I still follow Olympic events. Athletes have four years to achieve their dreams, and the journey is a perfect metaphor for business.

Olympic athletes have clear goals and intrinsic #motivation, driving them to excel. Similarly, in business, people seek growth, recognition, and success. Effective leaders, leading as coaches, provide vision, resources, and support, empowering their teams and fostering ownership.

I am inspired by both great athletes and exceptional #leaders who motivate others through inspiration, not force.

Your turn: How will you lead, engage, and foster ownership in your team?
