I am startup enthusiast with more than a decade of experience in startups and investing. I believe India is ripe to adopt new technologies and co-create with other nations and I want to further that mission.
Areas of interest in Japan/India
I bring 15 years of experience across technology, startups, and investor roles. For the past seven years, I led India investments for a prominent Japanese VC firm, working closely with leading Japanese corporates - such as FCC, Toppan, SMBC, JICA, Yokogawa, and Mitsui - to help them understand the Indian market through research, consulting, and strategic investments in Indian startups. Currently, I am assisting a native Japanese entrepreneur in establishing a new business in India.
My efforts have consistently focused on bridging Japan and India, supporting cross-border collaboration and business growth. I was recommended to IJBC by Shrikant, who is doing amazing work placing Indian students in Japanese companies. I believe the potential for India-Japan partnerships- especially in investments and business collaboration- is vast and largely untapped. Joining IJBC would provide an ideal platform to further these ambitions alongside like-minded members. Here's my LinkedIn for your reference - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bindureddye/
I look forward to a positive response and the opportunity to contribute to this unique forum.
