Red Envelope: From the C-Suite to Venture Capital

Over the past few years, we have seen several senior execs in
banks move into the startup/fintech community. Many made the
transition from wall street to silicon valley. That journey is
certainly not an easy one, especially when one serves at the
highest levels in financial institutions before making that jump.
Very few have managed it with the grace and success like Banesh
Prabhu - our guest for this week.


Banesh Prabhu is the ex-global COO/CTO of Citigroup Consumer Bank
International. He spent over 22 years at Citiwhere he rose to the
C-Suite as the Chief Technology and Chief Operating office across
55 countries covering 80 Million customers. He was part of Citi's
information technology leadership council and planning group
through the period.


Arun Krishnakumar and Banesh discuss Fintech and innovation
trends in India and the UK, and see how they compare to each
other. The opportunities that new business models in emerging
markets have created for Fintech and how/if the West can learn
from it.


Banesh has a stellar track record as an investor and he has had
significant tech exits, with iFlex and Aurion Pro. He also serves
as a senior advisor to BCG, and now he is a partner at Green
Shores Capital. So the discussion touches upon opportunities for
investment in the UK and in India, and what areas Green Shores
Capital is focusing on.

transitioned into a highly successful Venture capital Investor
