Hey, I’m Sowmya Keshava, Founder and CEO of Nilah Advisors, a boutique advisory firm based in Bangalore. I am also an angel investor who invests in tech & non-tech startups and India Partner for a S.Korean VC firm leading their growth stage investments in India.
While working as lead marketing and strategic thinker roles throughout the first quarter of my career, I discovered the perspectives of investment and startups in the early 2000’s. Building a marketing and business agency for early stage startups to becoming an angel investor & advisors in present times my career has pivoted.
I took leadership roles in the startup and VC ecosystem, accelerators and consulting field for close to two decades.
I believe that true leaders inspire and elevate those around them. With this in mind, I founded Nilah Advisors to foster growth and positive change.
India, a place where startups across vivid sectors are expanding and spreading across the nation. With this emerging trend, my contribution and mission is to build a global connectivity between the investors community and the Indian startup ecosystem.
At Nilah Advisors, we host IMPART Summit every year to bring the global investors community and Startups closer to India. It’s a private roadshow for invite-only investors to discover the potential of the Indian Startup Ecosystem, investment opportunities and understand emerging trends in India.
We believe, at IMPART Summit we’re just not talking about change, we’re making it happen.
