Shruthi Cauvery Takes the Stage at INK 2024

INK is an India-based ideas platform known for its talks by founders, scientists, and creators. Shruthi Cauvery took the stage at INK 2024, on the TGS Stage in Bengaluru, joining a platform known for bringing together entrepreneurs, thinkers, researchers, and leaders working across disciplines.

The appearance reflected the intersection of themes that have shaped Shruthi's work throughout her career: investment, sustainability, technology, and entrepreneurship, including the story of Vaia Climate, the climate-focused venture studio launched when the firm rebranded from CaHa Capital to Vaia in 2023.

Many of the challenges facing businesses and institutions today cannot be understood in isolation. Climate risk affects capital allocation. Technology is changing how organisations make decisions. New business models are reshaping industries and creating new forms of economic opportunity.

Shruthi's work with Vaia sits at this intersection. The company was built around the idea that better decision-making requires bringing together specialised knowledge, technology, and a deeper understanding of the systems in which organisations operate.

Taking part in INK provided an opportunity to bring these ideas into a wider conversation and engage with a community working across science, business, culture, and technology.

For Vaia, participation in platforms such as INK represents more than a speaking opportunity. It reflects the importance of building conversations across disciplines at a time when the problems facing institutions are becoming increasingly interconnected.
