ABOUT CHARU S.
Committed to building ecosystems that empower innovation. With a strong analytical mindset and a deep curiosity for frontier tech, I’m driven to back visionary founders, foster high-impact partnerships, and contribute to wildly ambitious investments in venture capital and beyond.I bring a diverse experience in research, strategy consulting, investment banking, due diligence and stakeholder engagement. I thrive at the intersection of capital, innovation and impact, bringing a globalperspective to identify and scale high-potential ventures. Driven to amplify outcomes by empowering founders in collaboration with investment teams.My journey with early-stage tech startups has been shaped by: Helping founders navigate fundraising and investor conversationsCrafting Go-to-market strategy for early and deeptech businessesBuilding strategic connections across startups and key stakeholdersExploring product–market fit in messy, early stages environmentEnabling ecosystem growth through collaboration, community and shared learningA quick snapshot of my story: Began in Corporate Finance and Investment Banking, post MBA, worked for over 5 years After embracing Motherhood, took a purposeful pause to regain mental strength, prioritize balance and pursue entrepreneurship interests (This one is a bit unconventional but it\'s true!). Intrigued by the transformative potential of emerging tech, re-entered the corporate world with renewed focus. Completed an MSc in IT with Distinction (2023), got selected for the SuperNova Venture Capital Program 2024 and VC Lab Fellowship 2025.I am also a zealous traveler and author looking for inspirational stories that originate from treasured destinations; Co-founded \'Untraveled Routes\' in 2016 and took time off from corporate world for my creative pursuits. Today the Untraveled Routes blog has a global audience of 70k and still counting. My write-ups have been published and recognized at distinguished platforms.
