I'm Saish.

In a nutshell

Saish is a systems thinker disguised as a venture capitalist. As Founder and General Partner of Curcuma, he's building a new model for patient (venture) capital that operates where planetary, human, and societal health converge; with time horizons measured in decades, not quarters.

​

His vision for planetary health extends beyond carbon reduction to building resilient ecosystems, enhancing biodiversity, and transforming industrial systems for a more decarbonated (and efficient) future. In human health, he's focused on constructing preventive infrastructures that both complement curative systems and accelerate biotech pathways to eradicate major diseases. For societal health, Saish is tackling the urgent redesign of institutions that were built for the pace of paper but must now function at the speed of electrons—across finance, education, governance, and more.

​

Before founding Curcuma, Saish gained perspective from multiple vantage points in the European innovation landscape: co-founding Edenia Capital to back deep climate tech, shepherding Platform and ESG at Elaia Partners, and nurturing the next generation of European VCs as Head of Community at baby vc.

​

His cross-cultural fluency and diverse founding experiences from literary cafés in India to impact accelerators in Paris give him a rare ability to translate between technological, financial, and cultural domains. This talent for boundary-crossing conversation is now embedded in Curcuma's community model, where investors, founders, and scientists engage in the deep work of reimagining systems.

​

What distinguishes Saish is his conviction that the most consequential innovations require both patient capital and vibrant community, a belief now animating Curcuma's mission to cultivate an ecosystem of investors backing founders with the courage to solve generational challenges.
