Nidhi Kathuria

I am a social entrepreneur and tech executive with 22+ years of global experience across fintech, financial services and social sector.

I have led high-impact product initiatives that drove strong organic adoption (scaling to millions of users in adoption), unlocked new revenue opportunities, and shaped competitive positioning through product-market fit and go-to-market execution.

I have played a strategic role in investor readiness and growth-stage fundraising by shaping product narratives, growth frameworks, and data-driven storytelling for institutional investors. My background spans research, global financial institutions, and the venture ecosystem, which gives me a balanced perspective across technology, governance, and scale.

Earlier in my career, I led quantitative and analytics-driven teams at a global financial institution and worked as a Research Scientist at a leading industrial research lab, contributing to applied innovation. I am an academic topper from Delhi University and was recognized by the late Chief Minister of Delhi and the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi for academic excellence. I hold a Master’s degree from NYU Stern.

Beyond venture-backed technology, I am deeply engaged in thought leadership, mentoring early-stage founders, judging startup pitches, and building platforms that elevate responsible leadership, long-term value creation, and meaningful impact.
