Amit Chandolia

Amit Chandolia is a co-founder of Venturebook Capital (also styled "Venturebook Capital Advisors"), a Mumbai-based advisory firm focused on the early-stage startup ecosystem. The firm has operated since roughly 2016 (its website footer carries a 2016 copyright; aggregator listings cite 2018), and is registered/headquartered at Linkway Estate, Link Road, Malad (West), Mumbai, Maharashtra 400064. Chandolia appears alongside co-founder/partner Pooja Malhotra as one of the two named principals on the firm's site (contacts amit@ and [hidden]).

Rather than deploying a fund, Venturebook Capital positions itself as a "responsible investor representation" and advisory practice — helping founders raise capital by preparing the materials investors need to say yes. In the firm's own words, it acts as "a story writer who converts the vision of an entrepreneur and startup into structured, simple and easy-to-digest models and pitch," narrowing the "business understanding gap between startup and investors." Services include financial modeling, valuations, information memoranda/teasers, market and business research, project financing, and working-capital and deal support.

Note: publicly verifiable biographical detail on Chandolia (education, prior roles, dated career history) is thin. Much of what is documented comes from the firm's own (now-offline) website as archived by the Internet Archive between 2016 and 2018, and from third-party firm-directory listings. Where facts could not be independently confirmed, they have been omitted rather than guessed.

• Works with early-stage companies and startups raising seed and pre–Series A capital, typically from angel investors, HNIs, and (at later stages) institutional VCs.
• Core value proposition is investment readiness / capital-raising advisory, not check-writing: "We help early-stage companies in creating a right story (equity collaterals) for pitching it to investors… preparing investment collaterals/documents (the biggest challenge for any start-up looking for funding)."
• Stated operating philosophy: "Responsible banking with dedicated and experienced bankers through the life cycle of a relationship," with client relationships "built on trust and discretion."
• Culture cues from the firm: "Challenge conventional thinking… respect the power of facts" and "work with tenacity… relentlessly tackle tough problems."
• Process is idea → market/business research → preparation of equity collaterals (financial model, information memorandum, teaser), suggesting a hands-on, diligence-heavy engagement style and a bias toward founders who can articulate a clear problem, market, and team.
