Akarsh Shrivastava
Investment Team


I come to GC from Elevation Capital, where I most recently led the SaaS/AI and B2B practice and previously co-led the consumer tech practice. I was instrumental in rebooting and scaling the SaaS practice for the fund, from setting up the team to building the sourcing muscle and networks, and subsequently scaling the practice from less than 10% of the fund historically to around 30%.
Before Elevation, I spent three years at McKinsey & Company, where I worked across sectors and functions, including pharmaceuticals, financial services, and infrastructure, focusing on strategy, market launch, transformation projects, cost optimization, and product development.
I earned my bachelor's degree in civil engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, and my post-graduate diploma in management from the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad.
I am interested in cricket, food, political history, and historical fiction, and I'm always happy to share suggestions for hidden food gems in Delhi.
