One word to describe Dinesh and goals:
Connector” He is the glue that holds various stakeholders within and outside the company together. He strives to bring maximum efficiency in processes and continuously improve.
The Nalin and Dinesh believe that they do not have to chase and
strive to do different
things to be unique; instead, the uniqueness comes from merely doing what they
say. Clients whose objectives of funding were not met or partially met by
engaging with NC, attest to the fact that no stone was let unturned
in an attempt to support them. Oten the eforts continued way beyond the contract period.
Both Nalin and Dinesh had
unique journeys. What is common is the fact that both were highly successful in
their corporate careers, followed by failed entrepreneurial stints. The
learning from the failures is what created NC in the form and shape it is.
Today it has an international footprint and has served more than 350 clients.
Over the past four years, including the India Fund Fest and Indonesia Fund
Fest, NC has touched 30000+ entrepreneurs and business owners in some way or
the other.

This totals to confirmed spot deals in excess of INR 25 Crores. With an additional three deals still open, the number is expected to touch INR 42 Crores. One deal was struck by a member of the audience. On the confirmed deals alone, this is India’s largest Single Day Startup Funding Event ever!
