Satveer Singh Thakral on why technology in this age and time holds the key to the success of businesses.
-
As 2018 draws to a close, Satveer Singh Thakral is busy writing a new chapter for SGAN, an early stage venture fund he started with his father in April 2014. After being anchored by the multi-billion dollar Thakral Group since inception, SGAN is now transitioning from a family fund to raising external money. Although the 30-yearold CEO of SGAN refuses to divulge the fundraise details, his well-defined plans reflect the current state of mind. “The idea now is to focus on deployment. That for us entails picking winners from our portfolio that we plan to double down on, in addition to scouting for new opportunities... carving out a few successful exits is also something that we’re actively looking to do,” he shares. SGAN has invested in over 100 companies spread across Singapore, India and the US.
