We're bringing the community together for another conversation with South Asian founders & investors in early-stage tech - with a sharper focus on what's top of mind in 2026.
This panel is grounded in the real questions coming from within the Mango x SVB community:
How the early-stage landscape has shifted after a turbulent 2025
What role AI is actually playing in product & team strategy
How founders are thinking about fundraising, exits, & sustainability
What building company culture looks like in immigrant-led startups & the interplay of 996 with South Asian Culture
We'll dig into all of that, with plenty of space for honest takes & shared experience.
Panelists include:
Jay Kapoor - General Partner at VSC Ventures
Pratap Ranade - Cofounder & CEO at Arena
Ashi Agrawal - Cofounder & CTO at Kobalt Labs
Tejas Jain - Senior Vice President, SVB (Moderator)
As always, stick around after the panel to connect with other builders, operators, & investors. Whether you're just starting out or a few exits in, we'd love to see you there!
