Here's the best under-40 talent that these five new-age entrepreneurs would invest in

If new-age entrepreneurs had to bet mega bucks, here’s their pick of the best under-40 talent that they would invest in today.

Mukesh Bansal, Head of commerce, Flipkart, and chairman, Myntra






His Choice: There are a lot of interesting entrepreneurs in the country today like Richa Kar of Zivame, Masaba Gupta and Collectabillia founder Anjana Reddy.

His choice: Kunal Bahl, co-founder and CEO, Snapdeal. I respect Kunal and his business acumen and the scale and breadth of what he is looking at. I work with Snapdeal a lot and appreciate what they are trying to do and how they are using technology. Somewhere along the line they will be able to have an edge over some of the companies outside India like Amazon or Alibaba.

Aprameya Radhakrishna, Co-founder, TaxiForSure

His Choice: Squiggy and Grofers seem to be doing well. Arthera, the electric bike — that’s a brilliant concept. I also like Vyomo entrepreneurs (note: he has a stake in the company) Abhinav Khare and Poonam Marwah. I think Abhinav will do well whether he’s in Vyomo or not.

Vijay Shekhar Sharma, CEO, Paytm



His Choice: Cleartax’s Archit Gupta, Inmobi’s Naveen Tewari and Kavin Mittal. Gupta worked out of our office for a while.

Kirthiga Reddy, MD, Facebook India



Her Choice: Deepinder Goyal, CEO, Zomato; I think it’s just inspiring to see what he has done, his focus on delivering value, customer delight and what they are doing with something that is built in India and taking it global.
