Arnav KumarFounder

India - Bengaluru, Karnataka

I'm a second time entrepreneur with a Venture Capital stint in the middle.

Currently building Leap, a Sequoia India backed (Series A) startup.
Leap Finance helps Indian students pursuing International graduate degrees by offering them innovative products

We have built a suite of products for the 'study abroad' segment
In other words, we are a student community accelerating the international education dream.

If you have worked in the study abroad or international education segment in any capacity (an education counselor, a GRE/ GMAT/IELTS/TOEFL trainer or coach), I would love to connect with you and collaborate

If you are a student studying abroad or thinking about an international degree, I would love chat about your experience and pick your brain

Previously, I built gozoomo, a peer-to-peer automobile exchange which raised $7M from SAIF Partners and Apoletto (Billionaire Yuri Milner's private fund)

Worked with SAIF Partners as a Venture Capital investor where I focused on consumer internet investing (e-commerce, education, consumer logistics, automotive).
SAIF Partners is India's leading Venture Capital fund with an enviable portfolio (Paytm, Swiggy, Meesho, Unacademy, Urbanclap, Justdial, Makemytrip, NSE)
Deal list during SAIF -> Meesho (Series A), Unacademy ( Series B), Inyda/Faballey (Series B)

I spend my time on Business Models, Product Management and Organisation Building.
I read about Entrepreneurship, Growth Marketing, Economics and Finance

I am always looking to connect with company builders and product builders.
I am currently hiring for content strategy and growth marketing
