Carbasket at FinTech Centre of Excellence | 28th November 2025
Building a successful startup goes far beyond having a strong product. Investment readiness, governance, and scalability are just as critical — especially in regulated and technology-driven sectors.
The FinTech Centre of Excellence, in collaboration with IVYCAP, hosted a special FinTech Friday panel session on “Investment Readiness Masterclass” on 28th November 2025. Carbasket attended this insightful session, gaining valuable perspectives on preparing startups for sustainable growth and investor expectations.
What Is FinTech Friday with IVYCAP?
FinTech Friday is a knowledge-driven initiative that brings together founders, investors, and ecosystem partners to discuss real-world challenges faced by startups.
This edition, powered by IVYCAP, focused on:
- Understanding what investors look for beyond valuation
- Preparing startups for institutional funding
- Aligning governance, compliance, and growth strategy
- Building long-term, scalable businesses
The session featured Vinod Kalkotwar, Founder & President of Kalozal Consultants, who shared practical, experience-backed insights on startup investment readiness.
Key Takeaways from the Investment Readiness Masterclass
🔹 Startups Must Be “Investor-Ready,” Not Just Fund-Ready
Vinod Kalkotwar highlighted that many startups focus on fundraising before building internal discipline. Investors increasingly evaluate:
- Operational clarity
- Financial transparency
- Compliance maturity
- Scalable business models
🔹 Governance and Process Matter Early
Strong internal processes are no longer optional. From documentation to audits, startups must demonstrate that they are prepared for growth without chaos.
🔹 Long-Term Vision Over Short-Term Growth
The discussion emphasised building businesses that can sustain scale — not just chase rapid expansion. Clear vision, realistic projections, and responsible execution are key signals for investors.
