"When we accepted investment from Nexus the fund was just getting started. We also had an offer from another fund. I went on a long walk to decide whether I should accept money from Nexus or not. Finally, a question popped in my mind that settled the issue. The question was - When things go wrong - as they definitely will in any startup - will the investor "loose it" or work collaboratively towards a solution. Given the entrepreneurial background of the Nexus partners, the choice was clear. And the team proved their worth. As the company grew Suvir helped us by introducing us to the concept of Balanced Scorecard that he had used in his startup; Naren helped us by analyzing the business from first principles (the basics) and Sandeep helped us by key introductions."

Sandeep is one of the most entrepreneur friendly VCs in the world; honest, straightforward, easy to work with, and has been incredibly helpful in everything from quick decision making, fundraising, to connecting us to whatever resource we may need, when we need it. They were also very helpful when we needed to expand into the US market, and provided everything from temporary office space, to connections to partners and customers. I would recommend anyone looking for a great venture partner to put Nexus right on top of their list”.
Varun Singh

"Unlike other VCs we met in India who focus on spreadsheets, Nexus wrote us our initial seed cheque when we didn't even have an idea. They felt that we would something good with the investment which felt strange at that time. Almost a year later, Naren told me that he invested in us as he felt strongly that we would not walk the well trodden path and would wander and explore which is important for break out startups - how profound! Jishnu has been fantastic as a partner - we always feel like he is part of our team driving and helping make key decisions."
