KALPANA SINDHU
TECHNOLOGY, CAPITAL, STRATEGY
I am a Venture Capital Partner and startup advisor with 25+ years of experience across venture investing, strategy, financial services, and enterprise technology.
I currently work with early-stage companies and founders across FinTech, enterprise platforms, and deep-tech, supporting them on market readiness, scalable go-to-market strategy, risk, governance, and scale—particularly in regulated and complex operating environments.
Prior to venture investing, I held senior leadership roles at DBS Bank (Regional Head – South India), Deutsche Bank, Citibank, Infosys, and CRISIL, where I led teams, built multi-geography franchises, and structured solutions across corporate banking, credit, risk management, and digital platforms.

KickSky Space Lab’s Demo Day
I had the opportunity to be part of an engaging panel at KickSky Space Lab’s Demo Day, where we discussed what it truly takes for Seed-stage SpaceTech startups to scale from India to the world. SpaceTech is no longer a buzzword. With innovation accelerating across launch vehicles, earth observation, propulsion systems, and satellite technologies, the ecosystem is maturing—and so must the conversations around teams, governance, and long-term execution. The discussion reinforced something I strongly believe: capital in deep-tech sectors like SpaceTech is as much about responsibility as it is about opportunity.
