Early-stage venture capital firm 3one4 Capital has announced elevation of Nruthya Madappa as its Director.
In her new role, Madappa will continue to lead and expand the growth and capital vertical, which she currently heads.
Madappa joined the firm as Principal and the Head of growth and capital development in 2020.
