In this episode, we caught up with Kushal Baghia from All In Capital to talk about the state of early-stage investing in India. Kushal has around 8 years of experience as an investor and has supported around 130 teams throughout his career. Having started his investing career at FirstCheque, he then set up his own fund All In Capital, through which he supports founders who are giving it their all in building a business.

We spoke about a bunch of things with Kushal;

1. Formative years and how that shaped him as an investor

2. His journey of becoming a VC and how should look at VC as a career

3. A bit about his earlier stints at Upgrad, FirstCheque

4. How All In Capital happened, what are the mandates and focus areas

5. Typical investing process Kushal follows and what he looks for in a startup

6. Views on the funding environment
