Gautam Mago is a founding partner at A91 Partners who talks openly about trying to build an Indian venture capital firm from scratch, even though there aren't many examples to follow, and he prefers taking time with entrepreneurs and playing an active role rather than just writing checks. He also describes the investor-founder relationship as a kind of balance, acting as a sounding board while still trusting founders' judgment, and he follows through on this by taking board seats at companies like KaarTech to stay closely involved.
