In this episode of the 100x Entrepreneur podcast, we have Mr. Shripati Acharya, Managing Partner of Prime Venture Partners, one of India’s top early-stage venture capital funds.

Throughout his career, be it as a business lead at Cisco or as a co‐founder of Snapfish, the world’s largest photo site acquired by HP, or at Transarc, which was acquired by IBM, Shripati has combined his passion to build great teams, an extraordinary desire to excel and a keen eye for spotting the tales. He is known for being astute with a razor-sharp intellect and a Zen‐like devotion to data-driven decision‐making.

Shripati has also worked alongside Mr. Nandan Nilekani on the UIDAI project. Having spent substantial parts of his working career in the United States and India addressing worldwide markets, Shripati brings a global management perspective.

During the podcast, Shripat shares valuable insights on raising funds, early-stage investing, avoiding mistakes as a founder, maintaining a healthy work-life balance and missed investment opportunities too.
