  • We are deeply saddened by the untimely passing of Rohan Mirchandani, co-founder of epigamia and a cherished member of the ASCENT Advisory Board. Rohan was a visionary leader who not only transformed the entrepreneurial ecosystem but also enlightened countless entrepreneurs with his insights and passion. At ASCENT Foundation, he played a pivotal role in guiding the paths of aspiring entrepreneurs, offering wisdom, encouragement, and unwavering support. His energy, vision, and dedication to nurturing innovation will be profoundly missed. Though he is no longer with us, his legacy will continue to inspire and shape the journeys of entrepreneurs for generations to come.
