Mohit Bhatnagar

Managing Director, Sequoia Capital India

About

Mohit Bhatnagar is known for his early, concentrated bet on Indian payments as a generational opportunity, publicly framing micro-payments as India's sachets years before UPI scaled, and for generating strong 3-4x+ returns across three Sequoia India fintech portfolio companies where he served on the board. He emphasizes that chemistry, not mathematics, rules mergers and explicitly prioritizes founder relationships over transactional metrics, saying Sequoia's success is measured by whether founders call them first when something important happens.
