At the heart of India’s startup capital, IPV’s Wealth Wise Investor Summit delivered a powerful mix of insight, access, and investor conviction.
The halls of Taj MG Road were abuzz with the energy of over 350+ curated investors, founders, and startup enthusiasts. Hosted by Inflection Point Ventures (IPV), Wealth Wise Bengaluru wasn’t just another investor event – it was a deep dive into what it takes to build and back tomorrow’s giants.
From masterclasses on startup evaluation to high-powered conversations with industry veterans, the summit delivered one key promise: helping investors future-proof their portfolios in a fast-evolving market.
A Curated Afternoon of Capital Meets Conviction
The event opened with Mitesh Shah, Co-founder of IPV, Partner – Physis Capital , anchoring a bold theme:
“Future Proofing Your Portfolio: It’s Time to Diversify Beyond Equities & Real Estate.”
In a candid, data-backed session, he urged investors to rethink the conventional and explore startups as a serious asset class, grounded in returns, not hype.
Next, Vinay Bansal, Founder of IPV, took the stage to share how IPV has been shaping the startup edge over the last five years. His talk, “Investing in Tomorrow’s Giants,” offered a look into IPV’s due diligence engine, sectoral bets, and stories of breakout founders built through disciplined angel investing.
A Shark Joins the Table: Vikas Nahar Delivers the Knockout Punch
The most awaited session of the evening featured Vikas D Nahar, Founder & CEO of Happilo and Shark Tank India Judge.
In his keynote titled “Nuts About Investing”, Vikas shared his unfiltered views on what separates the fundable from the forgettable. From founder attitude to execution agility, his playbook resonated deeply with both new and seasoned angels.
He was later joined by Ankur Mittal for a dynamic fireside chat “Living on the Edge” where the duo explored how emotions, timing, and gut instinct often intersect with data when making startup bets.
Beyond the Stage: The Power of the Room
The agenda may have been tight, but the real magic unfolded in the conversations between sessions. During the Networking High Tea, investors exchanged deal notes and shared learnings.
This peer-driven approach underscored the larger purpose of Wealth Wise: to not just learn how to invest, but to build a trusted network around it.
Final Word
Wealth Wise Bengaluru 2025 didn’t just educate. It activated. From unlocking new asset classes to engaging India’s leading angels, the event reaffirmed that startup investing isn’t just the future, it’s very much the present.
And in that present, IPV continues to play a catalytic role – building access, trust, and outcomes for a growing tribe of serious investors.
