The company claimed in a statement that Aswani will bring extensive experience in building and scaling businesses. In his new role, he will spearhead investments and build the portfolio management team within Capital A.

Sharing his enthusiasm about joining Capital A, Aswani Chaitanya said, "I am thrilled to join Capital A and be a part of their mission to empower and support innovative startups in India.
