Ganesh Rengaswamy

Managing Partner, Quona Capital

About

Ganesh co-founded one of the first global VC platforms focused specifically on fintech for financial inclusion across emerging markets, after being an entrepreneur himself who co-founded Travelguru and says the pain of fundraising as a founder shaped his desire to build a more entrepreneur-friendly venture fund. He has been an early champion of financial inclusion in India and Southeast Asia for over a decade, backing many pioneering institutions like SKS, Ujjivan, and Bandhan long before fintech for underserved customers became mainstream, and personally led Quona's investment into IndiaMART's 2016 Series B—a 15-year-old B2B marketplace that had raised very little capital before its successful IPO.
