Not your typical “play-it-safe” character – #BGV is someone who’s all about thinking big, pushing boundaries, and creating space where others might see limits. #BGV is also someone who doesn’t believe in competing for the same slice of the pie.

Congrats Anup Jain But I have realised early investors don’t come that early. As I see no reason where a team with founder market fit is struggling to raise a seed round. Will drop bluegreen a mail Sir.

Congratulations Anup Jain . I have been following your sapiential authority on your expertise here on LinkedIn and see that your LinkedIn headline changed today. I can understand it must have taken a lot of effort and resilience to finally get #BGV live. Wish you the best👍💯 . I wish EdTech would have been a part of it's focus :) would love to share my journey about Enablerz a b2b SaaS

Brilliant that you went into depth into what BGV is going to pursue. I've seen a few funds launch now without fully articulating their investment thesis The bit that interests me: 'shifts in thinking about careers & skilling' in the new India Massive value unlock there Saksham Sandhu
