For our fourth episode, we take a deep dive into the mechanics of building a Corporate Venture Capital arm from the ground up.

Joining the conversation are Sriharsha Bandaluppi and Shashvat Somany, as they unpack the thinking, structure, and realities behind setting up and running a CVC.

Together, they explore:

• Intent before investment — why clarity of purpose shapes every decision
• Talent as the differentiator — the need for dual fluency across startups and corporates
• The CVC structure — from deal flow and POCs to IC and board approvals
• POCs as the real filter — where most opportunities are truly tested
• BU alignment — navigating internal buy-in and the triad of returns
• Governance in motion — the role of ICs and boards in decision-making
• Evangelism and scale — turning pilots into organisation-wide momentum

A grounded look at CVCs — focused less on theory, and more on the systems, decisions, and execution that make them work.

Hosted by Team Tattva — because at Tattva, the pilot is the product.
