Hardik Zaveri, co-founder of 8finity Global, started building businesses when he was a teenager. Now, he is using his experience to encourage other youngsters.
He is an impulsive dreamer and a compulsive worker. With talent and passion by his side, Hardik Zaveri is living up to the dream he dreamt for himself, one venture at a time.
Zaveri is a 29-year-old serial entrepreneur who started his journey when he was just 16.
Zaveri is currently a partner at 8finity Global, an angel investment firm which he co-founded, along with his partner and director Ketan Jain, in early 2017. The company’s name is very personal to Zaveri, as it incorporates the number eight, which has played a pivotal role in his life. And it reminds him of infinity pools — something else that he is very fond of.
8finity Global is a Los Angeles and Mumbai-based, angel and seed-funding investment firm that supports exceptional ventures and ideas with a unique value proposition while providing an incubation setup for young entrepreneurs. For every voice, there is expression and for every dream, there is 8finity — a global initiative that believes in investing not just in companies, but also people.
The company’s all-collaborative work atmosphere makes it easy for youth to catch on to their unparalleled vibe, thereby furthering their productivity and assisting them in recognising real opportunities. Zaveri’s mantra is clear: invest in the youth and build a strong company around them. And that’s what 8finity aims to do — bring about a difference by encouraging unprecedented talent and nudging them to unleash their inner artist.

With an experience of about 12 years in industries such as music, automobile, IT and SME sectors under his belt, Zaveri specialises in international artist management, along with outlining strategies and cracking music deals.
He is also the brains behind bringing global icons like Pitbull and Sean Kingston to India.
His fast-paced life, along with his penchant for cars and travel, is well documented on his Instagram handle, @majamagram.
Talking about cars, Zaveri demonstrated his passion for four-wheelers when he helped conceptualise the launch event of Aston Martin in India. To follow it up, he now intends on bringing the iconic Shelby cars to the country, with the sole distribution and marketing rights resting with his investee company.
Now that, is a worthwhile wait for auto enthusiasts across the country.

Due to the lawsuit, Gawker stopped publishing in 2016 and filed for bankruptcy. Recently, the PayPal founder agreed to sit out the dormant site’s sale to avoid a potential lawsuit over his secretly funded litigation.

Donald Trump, who then owned the organisation, sued Monnin for $10 million for defamation. “She suffers from a thing called ‘loser’s remorse’,” he said. “She lost, and if you looked at her compared to people who were in the top 15, you would understand why she was not in the top 15.” Monnin was ordered by the court to pay $5 million as direct damages to the alleged loss of sponsorship due to her claims.
