Swati Murarka blends risk discipline from her years in banking at Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays with hands-on technical grounding from studying electronics and early AI and neural networks at BITS Pilani, plus real operating experience from helping build an edtech startup from scratch, giving her a rare mix of financial rigor, technical depth, and founder empathy. She looks for founders who deeply understand their problem and can clearly explain their vision, pushes companies to build strong governance and internal systems early rather than just grow fast, ties her career moves across banking, startups, and venture investing to how much she was still learning, and believes India's talent base can produce strong AI and SaaS companies going forward.
