Vinodh Bhat (JioSaavn Co-Founder) on Scaling to 100M Users & Building with Purpose

In this episode of The Capital Raiser Show, Ankita Narula of Akshaya Patra USA leads a deep and insightful conversation with Vinodh Bhat, Co-Founder of Saavn (now JioSaavn) — India's leading music streaming platform acquired by Reliance Industries.

Vinodh shares candid, hard-earned lessons from his journey as a tech entrepreneur, investor, and board advisor across multiple ventures, including:

• Building a startup through multiple failures before reaching 100M+ users

• How a strategic partnership with Google skyrocketed Saavn's growth

• Lessons from raising $290M in venture capital — after 200 rejections

• Why understanding tailwinds vs. headwinds can make or break a company

• How technology can solve massive societal problems at scale

The conversation also explores philanthropy through innovation, as Ankita highlights how Akshaya Patra feeds over 2 million children per day in India through technology-driven logistics and operational excellence.

This fireside chat connects two worlds — high-growth tech entrepreneurship and high-impact philanthropy — offering actionable insights for:

• Founders scaling in emerging markets

• Venture builders navigating product-market fit

• Donors and non-profits looking to apply tech thinking to real-world problems

• Capital raisers learning how to create momentum and align with the right backers
