Kitty Agarwal broke from her traditional Marwari business family in Kolkata to build a professional investing career at Info Edge Ventures, rising from analyst to partner after being handpicked by founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani when she reached out to him directly from IIM Ahmedabad. She advocates for an unusually long 14-year fund structure arguing that Indian startups typically take 10 years from seed to IPO, and actively opens up Info Edge's operating resources to portfolio companies by connecting them with Naukri's sales team and even co-interviewing senior hires with Bikhchandani.

Notable Investments
Info Edge Ventures emerged from Info Edge's decades of balance-sheet investing in companies like Zomato and Policybazaar, operating as the venture arm of India's first internet conglomerate rather than a standalone VC fund. The firm manages around $475M with the ability to write checks from $300k to $5M and explicitly focuses on backing companies "that will succeed anyway," maintaining support from pre-seed through pre-IPO stages with unusually detailed governance standards and advocacy for IPO exits.
