The Leadership Lounge with Antony Alex | Season 3 | Ep. 5 | Sunish Sharma

Some investors chase unicorns. Some chase exits. But the rare ones? They chase enduring value—and build institutions that teach a generation how to think.​ In this episode of Season 3 of The Leadership Lounge with Antony Alex, we sit with Sunish Sharma—Co-founder and Managing Partner at Kedaara Capital— to open up a different kind of investment conversation—one where capital is deployed not just into balance sheets, but into conviction, character, and the courage to build things that last.​ Over 24 years, Sunish has shaped India’s private equity landscape—from being the second employee at General Atlantic in Mumbai, to co-founding Kedaara Capital in 2012. Under his leadership, Kedaara has backed transformative brands like Lenskart, Purplle, Manyavar, K12 Technologies, Avanse, GS Lab, and Care Health Insurance—and previously invested in Mahindra Logistics, IndusInd Bank, Jubilant Lifesciences, Genpact, Cyient, and Hexaware. But here’s what sets Sunish apart: he didn’t just invest capital in businesses. He invested in education itself. As a co-founder of Ashoka University and the Young India Fellowship, Sunish has built structures that shape how India’s next generation thinks. This episode isn’t a polished investor narrative. It’s the unscripted conversation about what it means to back founders while building the frameworks that define leadership for the next two decades in India.​ 🔍Inside this episode: 💼From boardrooms to Bharat: What young Sunish wanted to be and how McKinsey and General Atlantic shaped his leadership philosophy.​ 🤝The partnership principle: Kedaara’s consultative, partnership-driven approach—what’s the hardest part of balancing investor returns with founder dreams? 🧠The one trait no model can quantify: What Sunish looks for in Indian founders that no financial model, no spreadsheet, no pitch deck can ever capture​. 🏗️Backing the builders: Stories behind investing in Lenskart, Purplle, Manyavar and more—decisions that played out exactly as expected, and the ones that surprised him. 🎓Beyond capital: Why Sunish co-founded Ashoka University and the Young India Fellowship. ​ This episode is for you if: 🔹You are a CXO, founder, investor, PE/VC professional, family office leader, or wealth manager trying to make better long-term calls in a noisy, short-term world.​ 🔹You are a young professional or student of finance who wants to understand what patient capital, resilience, and responsible value creation look like when the spreadsheet ends and the real decisions begin.​ 🔹You are building or backing companies in India and want a brutally honest view of what it takes to survive volatility, consolidation, and constant disruption—while building for legacy, not just liquidity.​ If you’ve ever wondered what leaders who manage billions and shape institutions really think about risk, enduring value, and India’s growth story when the cameras are off—this is your episode. ​ 👉Watch Episode 5 with Sunish Sharma now and learn how to build for decades, not quarters—and why the most valuable thing you can create isn’t a portfolio, but a generation of people who know how to build responsibly in India.​ Subscribe to The Leadership Lounge with Antony Alex for more Indian leadership conversations and corporate India case studies in this time‑capsule series.
