Pravin Gandhi

Angel of funding



Pravin Gandhi has straddled Indian IT for nearly three decades now. He was
one of the early stalwarts at Hinditron in the 70s and was significantly

involved in bringing Digital to India, the first MNC here post IBM's exit.

Though he was also the MAIT president, but it would be as a private equity

investor or VC in the IT sector where Gandhi's claim to fame rests. He is

director of the $30 mn angel fund, Infinity Technology Investments as well as on

the board of other VC firms like Avendus Advisors and Aavishkar amongst others.

And, he shows no signs of slowing down as he recently launched Seedfund, another

VC fund that has commenced operations with an initial corpus of around $10-15 mn

and plans to fund 20 entrepreneurs over the next three years.
