  • Amber India Resaurant 4926 El Camino Real Los Altos, CA, 94022 United States (map)

Come and join us at an exciting IITKEF evening open exclusively to IITK alumni who are founders, VCs and others involved in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.


Our keynote speaker, Deep Nishar has had a heck of a journey. From growing up in a 200 sqft apartment in Mumbai with no running water, to now being a Senior Managing Partner with the 100 billion dollars SoftBank Vision Fund and, in between finding time to be a founder of his own company (Patkai Networks), running Google's Asia-Pacific Products Division, and being the Senior VP at LinkedIn running their Products and User Experience Group and grow its user base tenfold from 32M to 347M and revenues from less than 100M to over 2B. And, lest we forget, he also found time to get a Harvard MBA (Baker Scholar) and teach Product Management courses at Stanford. Amazing experience and it will be fun to hear his insights.

This event is sponsored by Morgan Stanley and it will be represented by Greg Vaughan who is a Managing Director in their Private Wealth Management Group. Greg manages more than 20B dollars for his clients (more than most VC funds) and has been featured in Barron's top ten Financial Advisors since the ranking was incepted 13 years ago and has ranked #1 for 6 of those years. Over the decades, he has navigated through the various economic cycles and his reflections on those and the current state of the markets should be very interesting too.

Please RSVP at the earliest. Due to space constraints, seating is limited to 60 people and this is sure to be a well-attended event. Please confirm by responding to host@iitkef.com.
