In a forward-thinking move, London-based Amadeus Capital Partners has set up in Bangalore and plans to soon make the fund’s first investment in a business with operations in India.
Leading the team in India is Bhavani Rana, an experienced venture and private capital investor who was until recently Investment Director at Intel Capital. Rana is a seasoned investor with 14 years of leading and managing more than $170 million of investments in 30 companies in India, the U.S. and Europe. He spent 14 years with Intel and scored several IPOs and M&A deals.
Rana said he aims to help build out India’s technology and Internet services ecosystem, which has been in catch-up mode for several years and is now growing very fast as India startups ride an improving economy and huge mobile communication markets. He will be speaking about these topics on a venture capital panel at Silicon Dragon London 2015, March 11.
