About Kamal
25+ years across the full investment stack—venture, growth equity, public markets, debt, and investment banking—as an investor, operator, and advisor. Focused on one thing: backing entrepreneurs building the future.
Started in early-stage VC at SIDBI Venture Capital, helping launch one of India’s first IT-focused funds, investing in companies like BillDesk and Manthan Systems. Also contributed to building SIDBI’s Fund of Funds, seeding multiple state-level VC funds now managing ₹10,000+ crore.
As Managing Director at GVFL, led a full repositioning into a platform VC, launching new seed and early-stage funds and building co-investment networks across 50+ family offices and VCs.
At Bonanza Group, built equity and debt capital markets platforms, raising capital across stages and advising on M&A, valuations, and structured deals across sectors.
Currently building BRK Ventures and ConserveCap, advising StepTrade Capital, and leading Startupbootcamp India focused on climate and energy transition.
Belief: capital should bring strategy, networks, and long-term alignment—not just money.
