New Delhi: Angel investor and startup ecosystem veteran Rajesh Sawhney marked a milestone in his entrepreneurial journey, sharing a nostalgic note on social media to celebrate over 15 years of friendship and investing with founders and fellow investors.
Sawhney recalled how he, along with Bikram (BK) Arora and Sanjay Nath, began their investing careers through Mumbai Angels more than 15 years ago — a period he described as foundational in shaping India’s early-stage investment landscape.

Sawhney’s message resonated across the startup community as a reminder of the long-term relationships, shared vision, and resilience that have shaped India’s venture ecosystem over the past decade and a half.
