About Divya

Divya is an entrepreneur and investor with a deep belief in the power of disruption through entrepreneurship to challenge the old and bring in the new, helping bring benefit to a large cross-section of people. 

Having worked in a corporate, yet highly entrepreneurial environment as a co-owner at a dynamic family-owned business conglomerate in Singapore, Dubai and India, she has had the opportunity to establish and set up multi-million-dollar projects, bring on board and work with great talent to build successful businesses, establish and collaborate with an accomplished board of directors and build the knowledge and confidence to deliver business goals. Among some of her leadership roles, she has led the development and successful exit of a healthcare institution, lead the restructuring of a country wide retail venture and fashioned the acquisition, turnaround and growth of a financial services player.

She is passionate about supporting entrepreneurs in achieving their vision by providing seed funding for start-ups. She invests with companies that are providing products and services which help a large number of people improve their lives. She does this by bringing on board the right kind of capital, galvanizing people and driving growth. She encourages people to break out of the box in their thinking and partners with them to come out as winners.

She is also a mentor for entrepreneurs and extends her financial expertise and operational acumen to not only for-profit businesses but also to not-for-profit ventures that have a vision of creating a large level of disruptive social impact in their field of work. She is a responsive and committed investment partner who believes in empowering the right people at an early stage of their entrepreneurial journeys.
