About Alex Ferrara

Vishal Gupta started as an executive assistant to the CEO at HCL Technologies before building Reliance Capital's private equity arm and then joining Bessemer in 2006 to launch its India office—an unusual career path from operator to PE builder to VC pioneer. He has personally led Bessemer's evolution from late-stage growth deals to early-stage tech investments over nearly two decades, developing concentrated roadmaps around platform plays like fintech infrastructure and backing companies from BigBasket to Swiggy across multiple funding rounds.
