The Spark of an Idea: The Birth of Kansaltancy Ventures
By 2016, India’s startup ecosystem was still in its infancy, and concepts like Venture Capital and Equity Investment were largely unfamiliar to most. Tushar, leveraging his extensive experience in Venture Capital, Consulting, and Corporate Finance, identified a significant gap: Entrepreneurs lacked the knowledge and resources needed to access funding effectively.
This realization laid the foundation for Kansaltancy Ventures. Drawing from his experience at esteemed organizations like Deloitte, Brand Capital, and Guggenheim Partners, where he managed billion-dollar deals, Tushar envisioned a venture that would educate, mentor, and enable startups to scale. His dream was to create a platform where entrepreneurs could receive the guidance and resources necessary to bring their ideas to life.
