About Rishit

Rishit Desai’s first brush with the startup world was during his university days when he and his friends founded a talent marketplace for students. Rishit started his career as an investment banker in Singapore. Following that, Rishit was a growth investor at Bain Capital as part of a few marquee technology and consumer investments in India and Asia. He’s lived and worked in seven different cities around the world in the last decade.

He is a true believer in talent and ingenuity of Indian entrepreneurs and is happiest when he meets exciting founders making impossible things happen through hard work, passion and creativity. He truly enjoys the process of company building and problem-solving alongside the founding teams to help them achieve their goals. Outside work, Rishit enjoys researching sports trivia and trying new restaurants.
