Description

We have seen 2, 3, 4, 5 women investment partners at venture capital firms. Have we seen firms where all three investment partners are women? Not too many!

I am so excited about today’s podcast with Enzia Ventures. The team at Enzia has been an early supporter of Women who Build. Enzia is an early-stage investment firm in India that invests in education, health, and the environment.

So let us get to know them -

Namita is one of the most empathetic people I know in startups :) Namita pursued her undergraduate and master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from IIT Bombay and an MBA from the Stanford GSB. Post business school, wanting to work at the grassroots, she joined Central Square Foundation where she helped establish and grow the Edtech team. Later, she went on to lead education investments at Omidyar Network India and has invested in the likes of WhiteHat Jr, amongst many others. Her love for entrepreneurship and working at early stages led her to join Enzia.

Karuna Jain - Karuna has extensive experience and expertise in early-stage and growth investing in healthcare, skilling, and renewables. Prior to Enzia, she worked in the leadership teams at Acumen and Aditya Birla Group. At Acumen, she led healthcare investments globally, managed a portfolio of 25+ companies, and kickstarted investments in tech startups in healthcare, agriculture, and the environment. At Aditya Birla, Karuna handled multiple roles in finance, investing, and strategy.

Jayshree Kanther Patodi - Jayshree has been both an operator and investor in healthcare space. Prior to Enzia, she has worked in leadership roles at IHH Healthcare Berhad, Asia’s largest hospital chain, and Khazanah Nasional, Malaysia, where she led their India division for Investment in Healthcare and Sustainable Development and played a key role in establishing their India office. Jayshree's portfolio companies include Apollo Hospitals, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, amongst others.

In this episode, we will learn -

Why and how did team Enzia come together?

Why their focus is on investing in the most fundamental things in life - education, health, environment.

How they work together for best outcomes.

Learnings launching a new fund.

What will define education and climate in the next decade?

Many other inspiring stories!
