Investor of the Month: Punit Shah

A candid, small-room conversation with one of India's most experienced venture debt investors - Punit Shah, Managing Partner at Alteria Capital.

About the Speaker Punit Shah personally closed the venture debt deals for Oyo, AgroStar and BlackBuck - back when venture debt was not yet a category most founders understood. He is now Managing Partner at Alteria Capital, India's leading venture debt fund, which became Asia's fastest to cross $750M in startup debt funding. Alteria's portfolio includes Ather Energy, Ultrahuman, Bluestone, Country Delight and Zepto. Before Alteria, Punit spent years at InnoVen Capital, where he personally led 75+ venture debt investments.

What to Expect This session goes past the headlines and into the mechanics of what actually happens after a founder signs a term sheet. Expect a real, unfiltered conversation covering:

What happens between the "yes" and the money hitting the bank
Where founders typically lose leverage in a debt negotiation
What 75+ deals taught Punit about which founders are fundable
Practical lessons on structuring, covenants and lender-founder dynamics

Format The event is deliberately kept to a small room for a genuine conversation rather than a stage-style keynote, with room for audience questions and direct interaction with the speaker.

Who It's For Founders, co-founders and early-stage entrepreneurs evaluating venture debt as a funding route; finance and strategy leads at growth-stage startups; and investors or ecosystem operators who want a practitioner's view of the Indian venture debt market.
