Ravi Adusumalli
Co-Managing Partner
Ravi is the Founder and a Co-Managing Partner at Elevation. He focuses on consumer tech and fintech investments at the growth stage.
As the Founder of Elevation, my goal is to help create an institution that is the founder's preferred partner in India for decades to come. We want to give every founder we partner with an unfair advantage.
Yesterday
Ravi completed his BA from Cornell University and worked at Credit Suisse and Mobius Venture Capital prior to starting Elevation.
Today
At Elevation, Ravi has invested in companies like Paytm, MakeMyTrip, FirstCry, Urban Company, ixigo, and Clear. Over the years, eight of his companies have gone public in India or the US.
Tomorrow
Ravi is looking for founders with truly ambitious ideas in consumer and fintech. His focus has shifted from being the first investor in a company to investing later in the journey.
I am looking for
Founders that are as hungry to win today as they were when they first started their company. I enjoy working with founders who are relentless and constantly iterating. Over the years, I've realized that the journeys of most companies rarely reflect their "up and to the right" slides from their initial fundraising deck. The journey is often long and challenging. Having been fortunate to have seen this journey several times, I'm excited to see how I can help make it a bit easier.
