Dhruv is eager to partner with founders building at the frontier of AI and Deeptech, from the infrastructure layer all the way up to the application layer. He is a strong advocate for the “earlier, the better” approach, thriving on brainstorming with entrepreneurs at the very inception of their journey.

Prior to joining Nexus, Dhruv spent time in early-stage venture at Entrepreneur First in Bangalore, where he focused on helping founders build global AI companies such as Unsiloed, RepelloAI, and Hanomi. Before his transition into VC, he was a member of the founding team and COO of Swadesh (YC S19). Leading “all things non-tech” for the fintech startup, he gained deep operational experience scaling a venture-backed business supported by Khosla Ventures and 8VC.

Outside of the workspace, you can find Dhruv watching tennis, photographing museums, or making music.
