  • Top Minds in Startup Investing to Gather in Bengaluru for the Launch of VC Circle by iQue

    Top Minds in Startup Investing to Gather in Bengaluru for the Launch of VC Circle by iQue

    New Delhi [India], May 15: India has plenty of start-ups. In fact, every year we’re establishing thousands of new businesses.

    Now what we need from our ecosystem is a much tighter alignment between founders, capital, infrastructure and execution.

    This is the much larger discussion that will take place on 22 May 2026, with the launch of the new VC Circle provided to the startup community by iQue; a private invitation only investment and ecosystem platform that is creating meetings for many of the most important organizations involved with India’s startup and venture capital ecosystems.

    The Bengaluru launch of VC Circle will be hosted at Startup Park Bengaluru and will provide an opportunity for those involved in startup investment to meet, along with founders and incubators, operators, innovation leaders, and other groups involved with building an ecosystem that supports entrepreneurs in India.

    As startup ecosystem conversations are evolving from “funding availability” to “durable ecosystem construction”, Venture Capital Circle by IQue has a new attitude and way to play in this area of business by creating an organization based on Three principles: 1) Aligned Capital; 2) Curated Relationships; and 3) Building Sustainable Ecosystem for Long-Term Value.

    As their official Knowledge Partner, SwiftSeed Ventures will provide strategic support in coordinating the launch of the Bengaluru Chapter of the VC Circle by IQue initiative. With an emphasis on innovation ecosystems; enabling founders; and collaboration to achieve robust growth, SwiftSeed Ventures provides valuable contributions to support the overall vision for VC Circle by iQue.

    The launch of VC Circle by IQue will include a stellar list of speakers and ecosystem leaders, including:

     • Shradha Sharma: Founder, YourStory

    • Vikram Gupta: Managing Partner, IvyCap Ventures

    • Anand Sri Ganesh: CEO, NSRCEL

    • Hiranmay Mahanta: CEO, I-Hub Gujarat

    • Parag Dhol: General Partner, Athera Venture Partners

    • Ankit Saxena:  Vice President, Investments, FITT – IIT Delhi

    By showcasing these names and their accomplishments, it shows the growth and interest related to the VC Circle by IQue initiative, as well as the ongoing dialogue associated with a broader conception of the greater ecosystem.

    VC Circle by iQue is not just another traditional investor/startup networking event – it is a carefully curated platform created specifically to encourage meaningful investor-founder collaboration.

    The concept of VC Circle is not to create more crowded marketing venues but instead create an intentional, structured ecosystem where conversations can lead to partnerships between the two parties, driving strategic growth, creating collaboration among various ecosystems or startups and creating long-term value.

    What makes VC Circle and its initiative particularly special is the overall ecosystem architecture being supported through VC Circle, which is also part of the broader iQue Ventures vision for developing an integrated infrastructure for startups through multiple ecosystem based initiatives.

    At the core of the iQue Vision for developing this Startup ecosystem is Startup Park Bengaluru, which is a larger startup ecosystem that is attempting to connect and house the multiple layers of entrepreneurship under one roof.

    Startup Park is not intended to be a traditional incubator or co-working space; it will provide an end-to-end startup infrastructure ecosystem where all stakeholders in the startup ecosystem (founders, investors, mentors, operators, institutions, communities and innovation platforms) can work within a connected environment.

    The ecosystem encompasses various initiatives that prove conducive to building a community around startup founders through founder readiness initiatives; passive startup exposure; investor participation; community cooperation; improvements in local industry; education about launching & operating new businesses; creating corresponding strategic partnerships among all players within an ecosystem.

    As more people observe them, there is consensus among industry analysts that India’s startup marketplace is moving from an era characterized by rapid growth of too many startups to an age of sustainable development driven primarily by the infrastructure component associated with sustainable business models versus just the volume of new/existing businesses being created.

    Whereas for years, India has built one of the fastest growing startup markets anywhere in the world; founders are looking for more than just brown field capital today as founders search for established networks of strategic investors who provide access to new business / marketplace opportunities, information that aids them with operational excellence, the ability to find support at all levels within their home districts and metropolitan areas where they operate.

    These are exactly the objectives of initiatives like VC Circle; placing themselves as providers of tools and resources necessary to link startup founders with their target audience of potential investors.

    According to those leading various initiatives, such as VC Circle, startup ecosystems of the near future will be comprised of greater levels of meaningful connection between suppliers and consumers.

    The presence of leaders such as Shradha Sharma lend an important amount of credibility to conversations about storytelling by founders, visibility of the ecosystem and the evolution of entrepreneurship in India. She has played a critical role in documenting the growth of India’s startup movement through YourStory over many years.

    Investors like Vikram Gupta and Parag Dhol provide essential venture capital and investment viewpoints at this time when there is an increasing amount of selectivity and conviction in the process of global startup funding.

    Another important facet of the ecosystem is represented by leaders such as Anand Sri Ganesh and Hiranmay Mahanta, who represent the areas of incubation, enabling innovation, and institutional support for startups, which demonstrates the ever growing significance of the startup infrastructure and founder development ecosystems in determining the next wave of entrepreneurship in India.

    Additionally, professionals such as Ankit Saxena from FITT – IIT Delhi demonstrate that there is a growing convergence between research institutions and innovation ecosystems and the commercialisation of startups in India.

    The launch of the Bengaluru chapter of VC Circle highlights a larger strategic shift occurring across the ecosystem.

    India is gradually evolving from developing startup communities to building startup infrastructure.

    The differences are enormous.

    Anyone creating community will help create conversation. Anyone providing physical infrastructure will help provide a way to sustain continuity.

    There are many platforms like VC Circle by iQue that are working hard to help provide a way to connect these two worlds by providing structured environments in which Investors, Founders, Operators, and Ecosystem Leaders can come together and collaborate more purposefully.

    The launch of VC Circle in Bengaluru – already known around the world as India’s Technology and Start Up Capital; will be another milestone in the ongoing history of entrepreneurship in that city.

    Additionally, it represents a newly formed and more mature Ecosystem Mindset; one that has an appreciation for quality rather than quantity, alignment rather than access, and building out the Ecosystem over the long-term instead of being visible in the short-term.

    With India continuing to strengthen its position as a Global Innovation Hub; things such as VC Circle by iQue, will likely be instrumental in helping shape how the next generation of Founders and Investors collaborate.

    Because it is very possible the future of entrepreneurship will not be built by Start Ups alone but may also be built by the Ecosystem who supports them in scaling.

  • ‘Dear, The People’ by Author Pawan Kumar Reflects on Identity and Its Role in Building Better Governance

    ‘Dear, The People’ by Author Pawan Kumar Reflects on Identity and Its Role in Building Better Governance

    Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 14: In Dear, The People, Author Pawan Kumar presents a forward-thinking yet practical approach to enhancing governance, making it more efficient, transparent, and citizen-centered. Drawing on over fifteen years of distinguished experience in policing and public administration, Author Pawan Kumar emphasizes that identity verification is fundamental to progress—whether it’s safeguarding children, preventing cybercrime, combating financial fraud, or ensuring welfare benefits reach the intended recipients.

    Central to the book is the concept of a Master Agency—Spectra: The Sentinel Commission—which is envisioned to securely establish and safeguard every type of identity: individual, institutional, economic, and digital. Real-life instances of large-scale frauds, counterfeit goods, and cybercrimes demonstrate the pressing need for a unified, trustworthy identity management system. Dear, The People is a call for collective action—urging citizens, institutions, and policymakers to collaborate in building a safer, more prosperous nation.

    A brief summary of the book and how it addresses today’s critical global challenges

    At its core, the book focuses on establishing and verifying all types of identities that shape our lives. This goes beyond personal identification—it includes properties, bank accounts, mobile numbers, social media profiles, businesses, organizations, products, and even actions. Every identity is unique and linked to us in some way.

    Identity is the backbone of effective governance, citizen services, democratic integrity, crime prevention, and economic transparency. From tracing missing children and combating human trafficking to curbing corruption, stopping counterfeit products, and promoting sustainable development—identity is the key enabler.

    Today, thousands of children remain untraceable due to incomplete identity verification systems. Millions fall prey to cybercrime through fake accounts or fraudulent phone numbers. Billions of rupees are lost to scams involving shell companies, and unverified businesses and counterfeit goods feed a shadow economy. The book conceptualizes a sustainable governance model where every human, institutional, and economic identity is verifiable and secure, thereby laying the foundation for inclusive, transparent, and resilient development.

    The inspiration behind writing the book and the expertise brought to the subject

    Throughout his career, Author Pawan Kumar has worked closely with people in distress—families and individuals seeking justice, safety, and fairness. Headlines often tell troubling stories: missing children, counterfeit goods harming consumers, organized crime, large-scale frauds, narcotics proliferation, and cybercrime. These issues are interconnected, affecting millions of lives.

    Author Pawan Kumar’s professional experience as an IPS officer allowed him to see first-hand how systems function—and where they fall short. This exposure, combined with a personal interest in finding systemic solutions, motivated the writing of this book. It is an effort to go beyond temporary fixes and envision a model that addresses these challenges at their root.

    Key insights and lessons readers can take away

    Every individual and family is part of the larger system we live in, and each one of us is affected by how effectively that system functions. The problems discussed are tangible, impacting real lives—sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly.

    The main message for readers is that an ideal governance system is achievable. The book lays out a practical vision for designing and sustaining a system that protects citizens, ensures justice, and empowers individuals to actively participate in national development.

    Real-life examples that illustrate the ideas presented

    Several real-world examples highlight the urgency of robust identity systems. Missing children cases show how, when children are relocated without proper identity verification, tracing them becomes extremely difficult, leaving families without answers.

    GST scams have seen criminals orchestrate frauds worth over ₹15,000 crore using fake company registrations and forged documents, draining public resources. Cybercrime continues to grow, with millions of complaints involving fraudsters exploiting fake identities, phone numbers, or anonymous digital profiles.

    In welfare programs, public funds are sometimes siphoned off through ghost beneficiaries or falsified identities, depriving deserving citizens. These examples show that without a comprehensive identity verification system, governance, justice, and development remain incomplete.

    The lasting impact Author Pawan Kumar hopes readers will gain

    Every citizen is deeply connected to the country’s systems. The book encourages readers to understand that an ideal, fair, and efficient system is achievable.

    Readers will recognize how challenges like missing children, scams, corruption, and weak governance affect everyone—and realize that each person has a role to play in shaping solutions. The narrative aims to inspire awareness, inclusion, and empowerment, encouraging individuals to contribute toward building a safer, more equitable, and sustainable nation.

    The relevance of the book in a constantly changing world

    The relevance of this book will endure as long as there is an effort to create and maintain an ideal governance system. While statistics and examples may evolve, the fundamental principle—that verified identity is essential to governance—remains timeless. The vision presented is not just for today, but for a sustainable future.

    Take the first step toward a transparent and resilient India – grab your copy of Dear, The People and be part of the change.
