Ortella Global Capital Announces Seasoned Executive Gaurav Verma as Co-founder and  Head of Consumer Investments to Hyperscale Portfolio 

Ortella Global Capital (OG Capital) proudly announces the  addition of Gaurav Verma as Co-founder and Head of Consumer Investments. This marks the third  key step in OG Capital’s journey, following its launch two months ago as India’s first and only  VC fund focused on reshaping the country’s venture capital landscape with its unique co-building  model. 

Gaurav Verma brings a strong track record of driving profitability and scaling businesses across  multi-billion-dollar companies and early-stage startups. With over 15 years of leadership  experience in various areas of consumer products and technology, he has consistently delivered  exceptional results by combining smart strategy with his hands-on execution. At Airtel, in his  various roles across businesses, geographies and functions, he led business initiatives that  expanded market share profitably, and at EkAnek (Foxy), he built revenue channels that achieved  10x growth, positioning both companies for long-term success. 

“Gaurav is a rare leader and skilled executor with the unique ability to spot untapped opportunities  and transform them into scalable successes by identifying and solving challenges others often  overlook,” said Sayan Ghosh, Co-founder and Managing Partner of OG Capital. “He works  seamlessly with founders, building comfort and trust while getting to the heart of the business to  fix operations and finances alongside them. His talent for turning startups into category leaders, in  ways no one else would have imagined, aligns perfectly with our philosophy of co-building great  companies alongside founders. We are excited to leverage his deep expertise to shape our  consumer portfolio into path breaking companies.” 

In his new role, Gaurav will lead OG Capital’s efforts to identify high-growth consumer startups,  work closely with founders to develop strategies for product expansion, create new revenue  channels, build strategic partnerships for scaling, improve margins and unit economics. His data driven approach to go-to-market initiatives and business finance ensures that startups in OG  Capital’s portfolio are not only hyper-scaling but doing so profitably. 

Reflecting on the opportunity, Gaurav said, “OG Capital is breaking the mould of traditional  investing model by going beyond just funding to truly co-building alongside founders. I am  inspired by the team’s hands-on approach and strong focus on long-term, sustainable growth for  its investee companies. Together, we will create great consumer brands that stand the test of time.  The foundation for this success is already in place, as all the companies we, at OG Capital, have  invested in have become profitable within the first 12 months and are on track to raise their next  round of funding with a 5x increase in valuation.” 

Gaurav’s appointment strengthens OG Capital’s commitment to building a world-class leadership  and execution team that works side-by-side with founders to co-build and scale the next generation 

of unicorns. With a clear roadmap ahead, OG Capital remains focused on delivering unmatched  value to its investee companies, investors, and the broader startup ecosystem.
