Parth Malpani
Founder’s Office Intern (GTM + Product Development) at AquaIntel Inc.
About
I'm Parth Malpani, currently working in the Founder’s Office at AquaIntel Inc., where I drive execution across sales, strategy, and product development. My career arc has been a blend of high-level finance and hands-on entrepreneurship, ranging from supporting ₹300Cr+ fundraising in investment banking to founding my own startup, Opticapture, and securing $10K+ in pre-orders. I am deeply passionate about the 'operator mindset'—the space where investing meets 0→1 execution. Whether I'm evaluating assets for a ₹3,000Cr climate fund or scaling user engagement, my focus is always on high-impact growth. I offer a unique mix of analytical rigor and operational agility, and I'm looking to connect with founders and investors who are building the next generation of high-impact businesses.
