This wasn’t a conventional path — from studying at IIM Lucknow, actively contributing to the Entrepreneurship Cell (E-Cell), and visiting multiple startup incubation centers, to finally converting the internship through a cold outreach on LinkedIn — every step had its own learning curve. How B-school opportunities like E-Cell and real-world exposure to startups can shape your career direction: 1. The importance of being proactive on LinkedIn and building meaningful connections 2. The type of interview preparation that goes into VC roles, especially focusing on startup analysis, market understanding, and business model evaluation 3. How my previous stints at Deutsche Bank (DB), FIS, and, more importantly, my work at Whatfix helped me build the right mindset and skillset for the interview 4. Whether you're an MBA student, a job seeker in the startup or venture capital space, or simply curious about how people break into the world of venture capital, I hope my story provides you with actionable insights and motivation.
