Sujit Kunte brings a rare Japan-India perspective to venture investing, speaking fluent Japanese and drawing on an unusual mix of engineering training, an INSEAD MBA, early jobs at Nomura Securities and Dream Incubator, and the CFA charter, which gives him a blend of technical, operating, and capital-markets experience that most early-stage investors don't have. As a Partner at Spiral Ventures, he helps startups think about eventually listing on public markets in Japan and the U.S., focuses on backing companies that bring digital access beyond India's major cities, and has pointed to NirogStreet's modern take on Ayurveda as the kind of culturally rooted idea with global relevance that he wants to support.
