“I am excited to work with growX as it has been able to distinguish itself as an early stage to pre-Series A investing company. By showcasing trust in these bold and transformative ideas at the Pre-seed and seed stages, growX has been a key enabler in creating industry leaders like Pixxel in the space tech sector and Progcap in the Fintech sector," said Dhir.  

Prior to this, Dhir founded the Delhi-based real estate consulting and property management firm Hub and Oak. Earlier, she worked for more than nine years as the vice-president and president at Alchemist Asset Reconstruction Company Limited, where her father Alok Dhir is the sponsor shareholder.

“Srishti’s experience in raising large pools of equity and debt capital from domestic and global institutional investors will be invaluable to our portfolio companies.  

Being an accomplished entrepreneur herself, she is likely to understand the needs of founding teams better and will be able to support them with innovative solutions helping them in achieving their business objectives," said Manu Rikhye, Partner at growX ventures.
