Anurakt Jain, co-founder and CEO at Klub said, “Today’s India is very different from the India we knew ten years ago.

We want to support this new pendulum of change by helping sustainable brands grow in the Indian startup ecosystem, even more in 2023 and future years to come. We are aiming to have at least 40% of our portfolio with such brands.”
