About Jyotsna Krishnan

Jyotsna Krishnan coined the concept of India's unseen middle—a 300-400 million person segment that traditional VCs ignore—and built both an investment thesis at Elevar Equity and a data platform at EPIC World specifically around serving entrepreneurial households in this segment. She uniquely combines her role as managing partner at Elevar with being CEO of EPIC World, using proprietary insights from mapping tens of millions of households to inform investment decisions and explicitly position these entrepreneurial households as her primary customer rather than optimizing solely for enterprise metrics.

Elevar Equity builds its entire investment strategy around "Entrepreneurial Households" – low-income but economically active families with multiple income streams – studying their transactions and constraints in granular detail through deep field immersion rather than focusing on sectors or generic "base of the pyramid" approaches. The firm has invested in ~50 companies over 18-20 years, serving as the founding investor in about half and reaching 50-55 million+ households across India and Latin America, while pioneering a commercial approach to impact investing where impact and business performance are structurally aligned.
