Tushar Kansal has built his professional journey around a clear objective: helping businesses and entrepreneurs access the capital, networks, and strategic support needed to scale. As the Founder and CEO of Kansaltancy Ventures, he works across venture capital, IPO funding, debt financing, and strategic services, leveraging a network of more than 1,700 investors and lenders.
His work spans global technology and non-technology sectors, with Kansaltancy Ventures positioned as a growth partner for change-makers. The firm facilitates access to Venture Capital, secured and unsecured debt, SME and MainBoard IPOs, and strategic services through its investor relationships, domain expertise, and financial network.
Building Kansaltancy Ventures
Tushar founded Kansaltancy Ventures in 2016 after developing experience across multiple areas of finance and business. His professional background includes Venture Capital at Brand Capital, Big Four consulting at Deloitte and Touche, and work with the India unit of LSE-listed Sistema, where he was associated with raising $2.5 billion for MTS India.
He later served as CFO of DLI, a company owned by Guggenheim Partners. This diverse experience gave him exposure to venture capital, consulting, corporate finance, fundraising, and large-scale financial operations.
Today, Kansaltancy Ventures draws on that experience to help businesses navigate different stages of growth. Its work covers funding requirements ranging from venture capital to debt and public-market opportunities.
A Network Built Around Capital Access
A major part of Tushar’s approach is his extensive investor and lender network. Kansaltancy Ventures leverages more than 1,700 global VC and investor relationships, along with connections across banks, financial institutions, NBFCs, and FinTech lending platforms.
The firm is also associated with a marquee anchor investor in the SME IPO space, described as having assets under management of more than INR 20,000 crore and investments in over 130 IPOs.
Through these relationships, the firm aims to connect businesses with appropriate sources of capital while providing strategic support around their growth plans.
