An alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad and a post-graduate from NDRI Karnal, Monika has over 25 years of rich and diverse experience in the field of marketing, advertising, and entrepreneurship. After short stints in the corporate sector in marketing and advertising, she forayed into social entrepreneurship, setting up an organization to provide career guidance services to school children. In 2004, she co-founded a corporate training venture: a company focused on providing behavioural training and OD solutions.
Monika has been a sounding board to friends and students who chose to set up their own businesses. Excited by the growth potential of tech-entrepreneurship, she has plunged into the field of early-stage venture capital, bringing her experience to good use in assessing the potential of start-ups, and their teams.
As part of the Deal Cultivation and Investment Team at YourNest, she manages all aspects of an investment opportunity during its evaluation process. She is also actively involved in identifying and connecting with visionary founders and outstanding early-stage DeepTech startups, with a focus on investment prospects.
