Partner, Growth Equity - India & Asia - Pacific, Lightspeed Venture Partners

About

Aditya leads Lightspeed's India and Southeast Asia growth investing with a distinctive mandate to back exceptional companies they may have missed at earlier stages, writing checks ranging from $30-200M to build meaningful ownership in scale-ups. As a rare investor who has built institutional growth platforms at multiple global firms—first co-founding TA Associates' India office in 2009 and now architecting Lightspeed's regional growth franchise—he brings an unusually explicit builder identity rooted in growing up in a family of entrepreneurs.
