Startups in India are working on ideas that have a global scale and we see a large opportunity here for them to expand and collaborate in Silicon Valley," said co-founder IvyCap Ventures Advisors, Vishal Gauri.

"We already have a number of Alumni from Silicon Valley on our platform that engage with our Indian Startups. This move will expand the support we can provide our Indian Startups also support the growing interest from Alumni in that region," said president IvyCamp, Dr. Anju Gupta.
