Raj — Naam nahi hi Suna Hoga (most probably) Raj Sharma, India's most successful VC, made his name with unconventional bets. While peers chased unicorns, he backed dairy tech startup Milkly with a $2M seed, revolutionizing milk procurement. His $1.5M early investment in rural fintech firm KisanPe, enabling last-mile banking, struck gold. Spotting potential in sustainable fashion, Raj funded upcycled apparel brand Fibresave with $500K seed, now a $100M global hit. His knack for spotting underrated gems like agritech firm FarmEasy ($3M seed), cleantech startup Ecolyft ($2.5M Series A), and rural innovations like HealthRoot ($1M seed) earned him legendary status. From Milkly to KisanPe, Raj's Midas touch transformed obscure startups into industry disruptors, redefining India's VC Ecosystem.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
