At Ankur Capital, Shiva focuses on technically complex, capital-intensive sectors like industrial innovation, climate technologies, and energy systems, and he's known for tracking hard data—like India's battery storage growth or the energy and water use behind AI queries—rather than talking about climate in vague terms; he also oversees fund analytics and investment processes across the firm. His approach to deeptech is shaped by real operating experience, having previously grown revenue at a distributed energy startup, which is likely why he pushes so hard for anchor purchase orders and direct co-creation between companies and startups as the key to India's deeptech progress.
