Kaushik Anand's path is unusual for a growth investor: he moved through McKinsey, Sequoia, and CapitalG while also building his own startups in energy and internet ventures, and he studied chemical engineering at IIT Madras before earning top honors at Harvard Business School. At A91, he tends to make a small number of carefully chosen bets rather than many small ones, often in Indian software companies built for global markets, and he takes on hands-on board roles like at Kaar Technologies and as a nominee director at Aye Finance, reflecting the same direct, India-to-Silicon-Valley experience he brought from leading CapitalG's India efforts.
