Background

About Nemesisa Ujjain

I have 17 years of experience in venture building, startup acceleration, strategic partnerships, fundraising, and corporate innovation. Currently, I lead The Circle: Founders Club, a digital-first business accelerator under the Hunch Ventures ecosystem, which helps Indian startups scale fast and serves as a soft-landing platform for international startups entering India. I also co-founded Asia Bridge, an initiative connecting and supporting startup ecosystems across Asia’s leading tech hubs. Through this network, we collaborate with partners across East and South Asia to foster cross-border innovation, market access, and investment opportunities. Previously, I led India’s largest industry-backed corporate innovation platform, the NASSCOM Industry Partnership Program (NIPP), where I worked with over 20 Fortune 500 companies to design and execute open innovation and startup engagement programs. As an entrepreneur and mentor, I enjoy helping founders refine their business strategy, go-to-market plans, fundraising efforts, and global expansion strategies — especially those building bridges between India and the world.
