We want to be empathetic as we are demanding; we push to catalyze, inspire and energize but are forever rooted in care and concern," said Rahul Gupta.
"The investment strategy will be to build a small and focused portfolio which will allow us to keep a high bar, and dedicate more time to each of our investments," said Harsh Gupta.
