Investing in start-ups is not just about diversifying your investment portfolio or creating wealth. It has provided me with invaluable first-hand experience of the passion, the struggles, and the critical decision-making processes involved, and especially the grit required to be a founder. More importantly, it has taught me how to build scalable and sustainable businesses, foster a strong organizational culture, and create enduring organizations. I have been implementing these learnings to help grow NanoHealth! Thanks a lot to Inflection Point Ventures, Vinay Bansal, Ankur Mittal, Mitesh Shah. Wishing them all the best! Manish Ranjan
