Anirudh Garg
Partner at BEENEXT
About
I'm Anirudh Garg, a Partner at BEENEXT where I lead our India investments. My career has been defined by a deep fascination with technical complexity, moving from deep-tech and deep-science investing at Speciale Invest to my current role supporting early-stage founders across India, Southeast Asia, and the USA. I hold an MBA from Stanford and a Chemical Engineering degree from BITS Pilani, backgrounds that fuel my interest in precision engineering and global supply chains. I am a firm believer that the true value of venture capital lies in community and trust rather than just the check. I'm particularly passionate about the 'Make in India' thesis—the idea that world-class technology products can and should be built out of India for a global audience. Whether it's aerospace, climate-tech, or enterprise SaaS, I'm always looking to partner with bold founders who possess a unique founder-market fit and a drive to disrupt their industries.
