On this episode of Shunya One, Amit and Shiladitya are joined by Alok Goyal, Partner at Stellaris Venture Partners. Shiladitya tells Alok how there haven't featured many Venture Capitalists on Shunya One till date and how it would be interesting to get to know his perspective on the entrepreneurship scene in India. Alok tells us about his journey, his learnings, how he came up with the idea for starting a Venture Capital company, and why he calls himself a SAAS investor. They discuss whether SAAS was his core thesis from day one or was it just for funding, why India as a startup ecosystem had not been established at the time when funding scenario was maturing and India was going through three phases of venture capitalists. Further, Alok shares stories of interesting startups they found, why SAAS will work in India and how has it evolved over time. Tune in for this and much more.
