Partner at Consensys Ventures. In her role at Consensys, Kavita

Ventures, and some of the investments they have made in the past,
and the overarching thesis they have for their
investments. 

Kavita touches upon her views of Blockchain in the emerging
markets, and highlights that many firms they have worked with at
Consensys ventures and Tachyon are based out of emerging markets,
and have tremendous technology potential along with a market to go
after.

a Blockchain based tax system could potentially have significant
impact in markets such as India. We close the conversation with her
