Vani Kola garu — MD Kalaari Capital, an early-stage, technology-focused venture capital firm based out of Bengaluru, India. With over 22 years of entrepreneurial experience in Silicon Valley, she's a visionary leader and one of Fortune India's 'Most Powerful Women in Business.
In this Telugu Podcast episode, we sit down with one of India’s most influential venture capitalists, who played a pivotal role in shaping the early Indian startup ecosystem. She shares her journey from being one of six girls among 400 boys in engineering at Osmania University to thriving in Silicon Valley—and eventually returning to India to discover a landscape ripe with opportunities.
We dive into her early investments in game-changing startups like Myntra and Snapdeal, how a simple appreciation for Myntra’s customer service led to a major funding decision, and the critical role she played in Myntra’s merger with Flipkart. The conversation sheds light on the cost of doing business in India and how to navigate it .
She offers deep insights into the future of the e-commerce, aviation, food, and cosmetics industries in India, especially the booming men’s grooming segment. From identity crises to founder qualities, and from managing insecurity in the digital age to living simply while building boldly, this episode is packed with entrepreneurial lessons and raw reflections.
She explains why putting yourself in uncomfortable situations is essential for growth, why seeking approval is overrated, and how today’s youth can thrive in India instead of chasing the Silicon Valley dream. Her take on net worth, reputation, and the mindset shift needed for building long-term impact is both grounded and inspiring.
If you're a founder, dreamer, or someone navigating the startup ecosystem, this is one episode you cannot miss. She's a real inspiration.
