Vikram Gupta

Not many VCs think beyond returns. But @vikramgupta70 does. In 2019, he set up India’s first structured endowment fund at IIT Delhi - a concept well-known in the West, but unheard of in India at the time. As an IIT-D alum, he understood that alumni capital isn’t just money - it’s belief paid forward. Moves like this don’t just create institutions... they create legacies. #FromTheArchives - arthgrp.com/VikramGuptaOnDT

When you have had a dragon exit like Purplle, you earn the right to speak with clarity and conviction. @vikramgupta70's exit framework is a masterclass in discipline: funds have a finish line, not a stretch goal. Extensions? They’re for wrapping up, not ramping up. But what stuck with me the most - exits aren’t events, they’re processes. You begin the prep 24 months ahead and run your final sprint in the last 12. This isn’t just wisdom, it’s a roadmap for founders chasing legendary outcomes. #FromTheArchives - arthgrp.com/VikramGuptaOnDT

Why do we act like India–Pakistan is the “ultimate” clash? Most games end up one-sided. Overrated rivalry? #INDvsPAK #Cricket #CWC2025 #CricketTwitter #Sports #HypeVsReality

Ten habits to keep your brain healthy: Think of your brain like compound interest, it rewards small, consistent deposits over time. The best habits aren’t exotic, but they stack powerfully: 1. Sleep like it’s strategy, not luxury. 7–9 hours, with regular timing. Deep sleep clears toxins, consolidates memory, and recalibrates mood. Chronic short sleep is one of the fastest ways to dull cognition. 2. Move your body daily. Aerobic exercise (running, swimming, brisk walking, cycling) increases blood flow, grows new neurons (especially in the hippocampus), and sharpens executive function. Even 30 minutes, 5x a week, has measurable effects. 3. Feed your brain fuel, not fog. Mediterranean-style diets (rich in omega-3s, greens, legumes, nuts, olive oil, berries) correlate strongly with reduced risk of cognitive decline. Limit ultra-processed sugar-heavy foods—they spike then crash your focus. 4. Stress less, recover more. Chronic stress shrinks memory centers over time. Practices like mindfulness, journaling, deep breathing, or simply carving out breaks act like circuit-breakers. 5. Keep learning, always. Novelty and challenge grow cognitive reserve. Languages, instruments, puzzles, new skills—even if you’re not “good” at them, the act of struggling keeps networks alive. 6. Social connection as brain fertilizer. Strong relationships are among the best predictors of long-term brain health. Conversations, shared experiences, debates—they keep circuits firing. 7. Guard against toxins. Excess alcohol, smoking, environmental pollutants—all accelerate brain aging. Even “moderate” drinking isn’t brain-neutral. 8. Sunlight and nature. Daylight regulates circadian rhythm and vitamin D, both tied to cognition. Nature exposure also reduces stress hormones measurably. 9. Train focus like a muscle. Avoid constant multitasking. Single-tasking, deep work, and mindful breaks help protect attention span in a world built to fragment it. 10. Purpose matters. Brains thrive when attached to meaning—whether through work, service, or creativity. A sense of direction keeps motivation centers active.

BlueStone has reported a stellar first quarter as a listed company: 41% revenue growth YoY, a 630% jump in adjusted EBITDA, margins expanding by 1358 bps, and a cash profit of INR 174 million. Our journey with BlueStone started in 2015, when IvyCap first invested. I had the privilege of serving on the Board until just before the IPO. Over the years, as the business unfolded and consistently executed, our conviction in BlueStone’s potential has only grown stronger. That’s why we continued to back the company across our Funds — a true example of long-term partnership. It’s a proud moment to see BlueStone evolve from an early-stage venture to a listed company delivering profitable scalability. Congratulations to Gaurav Kushwaha and the entire BlueStone team on building a business that balances growth with efficiency, and sets the stage for sustainable long-term outcomes. Grateful to our investors, team, and advisors at @IvyCapVentures for their continued support and conviction in this journey. #IvyCapVentures #BlueStone #VentureCapital #Entrepreneurship #IPO #LongTermPartnership #ProfitableGrowth #IndianStartups #ScaleWithConviction

This Teachers' Day, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to all the teachers who have played a pivotal role in shaping my life and journey. Two years ago, I created a video celebrating the achievements of incredible personalities like @SDhawan25 @vineetasng @ShereenBhan @prashanthp @DeepKalraMMT @RamyaVRaman and others, all of whom attribute their success to their teachers and mentors. That video was a tribute to the transformative power of education and guidance. Today, I want to remind everyone of the profound impact teachers have on billions of careers and personalities worldwide. A special thank you to my own teachers and mentors: my brother Ajay Gupta, my professors in school and college: Late Prof. O P Amar, Prof. B K Guha, Prof. Ashok Misra, Prof. Shrikant Dash, Prof. Govindarajan, Prof. Banikanta Mishra, Prof. D.V Ramana, Prof Sam Thomas and others, who nurtured my learning, curiosity, and growth. Your dedication, patience, and mentorship have shaped not just careers but lives. To all teachers: thank you for inspiring, guiding, and shaping the future, one student at a time. #TeachersDay #Gratitude #ShapingFutures youtube.com/watch?v=cxICbg…

This Teachers' Day, #Gratitude to those who shaped my journey. This video shares stories of leaders like @SDhawan25 & @vineetasng, who credit their success to mentors. Thanks to my own mentors: whose dedication shaped my path. lnkd.in/dgxJ6SXc
