As a Partner at SOSV’s IndieBio, Parikshit is engaged in investments and operations at all stages of the fund, from sourcing to growth. Parikshit started his career at IndieBio and has seen firsthand what it takes to build a deep tech startup, sitting right next to the founders, in the trenches. Observing recurring dichotomies, the hard decisions, and human costs when it comes to prototyping, company building, and market discovery at the earliest stages has been foundational in defining his investment and operational lenses. To that end, he works in high resolution with founders on milestone mapping, building data rooms, indication selection, and techno-economic modeling.

Parikshit actively tracks the latest in artificial intelligence and machine learning, with a deep interest in novel computation architectures and foundation models for deep tech startups. He is fascinated by value, volume, and velocity tradeoffs in markets and researches how different capital and corporate structures can be exploited to fine-tune the means of production and distribution. Parikshit is a graduate of Bowdoin College where he studied Mathematics and Economics and attended the General Course at the London School of Economics.

Parikshit is big into personal knowledge management and curates his learnings and readings in a library: Structure Function
