Salone Sehgal On Coming Home To Build Lumikai With 1947 Rise Podcast

After years building a career in the UK, Salone Sehgal came home to India with a question that would turn into a fund: if not me, then who, and if not now, then when?

On 1947 Rise, host Shiva Singh Sangwan sits down with Salone, Founder and Managing Partner of Lumikai, to talk about how her professional experiences shaped the co-founding of the fund.

She traces her journey from growing up in India to the UK and back again, the origins of Lumikai and her vision for a fund dedicated to interactive media, digital platforms and games, and the skills she brought home that proved most valuable. She is candid about the best and hardest parts of the job, the frameworks she turns to when things go off course, and life outside work, including what she would pursue if money and attention no longer mattered and what her friends know her for.

If you've ever weighed a move home, or a leap into something new, this one will stay with you.

Press play and meet the person behind the fund.
