What does it take to back a startup through uncertainty, competition and the difficult decisions that shape its future?

In Episode 6 of Alpha Women, Salone Sehgal, Founder & Managing Partner of Lumikai, sits down with Kitty Agarwal, Partner at Info Edge Ventures, to discuss the judgement, patience and conviction behind venture capital.

The first woman in her Marwari business family to work outside the family business, Kitty forged a path into an industry that was unfamiliar to those around her. Over 13 years at Info Edge Ventures, she manages their $500M AUM fund and has worked across investments in companies including Zomato and Policybazaar.

In this conversation, Kitty reflects on the challenges Info Edge faced as competition intensified with Zomato, the decision to revisit an investment in Policybazaar, and the conviction required to navigate difficult investment cycles.

She also opens up about the realities of ambition and motherhood, including taking an investment committee call from the hospital shortly after giving birth, and learning to let go of unrealistic expectations of herself.

A conversation about venture capital, startup investing, high-conviction bets, risk-taking and the realities of building a career on your own terms.

Watch the full conversation with Salone Sehgal and Kitty Agarwal tomorrow, only on @LumikaiFund.
