Manish focuses on early-stage investments in consumer technology at Elevation. He works closely with founders from day zero, partnering with them as they build category-defining businesses with the potential to create large-scale consumer impact.

Prior to Elevation, Manish completed his MBA at IIM Ahmedabad, where he was awarded the Gold Medal for academic excellence. He previously spent two years in the Investment Management Division at Goldman Sachs. Manish holds a B.Tech in Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering from IIT Kharagpur.

Given the focus on early-stage investing, I spend most of my time closely working with enterprising founders tackling hard problems. The grit, passion, and audacity with which founders approach these challenges leaves me in awe every day. Partnering with founders and enabling them as they build their vision is an unmatched experience.
