The Bansal brothers are known to support many startups , whose founders are alumni of IIT Delhi. A look at some of them:It was a dream come true for Azhar Iqubal. In June last year, Sachin Bansal, his senior at IIT-D, reached out to him through a common friend and offered to invest in Iqubal's startup called Inshorts, a mobile app that provides top news stories of the day in 60 words along with an outlink to the detailed coverage. The meeting lasted 40 minutes, during which they shot the breeze about college life, professors, movies, hostel life and, yes, business, too. Subsequently, the Flipkart duo decided to put in their money into the startup rolled out by the IIT-Delhi dropout in September 2013. The 23-year-old lad also raised investments from Tiger Global in February and July this year. "Inshorts has been all about networking," says Iqubal.The first day of Avinash Saxena's hostel life started at 4:30 am. The freshers were taken out for a jog and the guy leading the pack was Binny Bansal, Saxena's senior by a year at IIT-Delhi, who was the sports secretary of the hostel. That's how the duo, who stayed in the same hostel, called Shivalik, got to know each other. "Binny Bansal was not Binny Bansal at that time. He was just my senior," chuckles Saxena. So when he cofounded Roposo, a social commerce platform in 2012, Bansal offered to invest; he eventually did after two years. Early this month, Roposo raised a Series B round of $15 million from existing investor Tiger Global, the largest investor in Flipkart.Ankit Prasad dropped out of IITDelhi in 2012 to turn entrepreneur. The big break came some two years later. In February 2014, Prasad got to know that Flipkart's cofounder Sachin Bansal had registered himself as a user at TouchTalent, an online marketplace for creative talent that Prasad had cofounded. Prasad dropped an email to Bansal, thanked him and asked for his mobile number. Later on the duo spoke for about 10 minutes, mostly about business. And after three months, Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal, Flipkart cofounders, invested in TouchTalent, which in January this year was rebranded as Bobble, a mobile conversations app.It was investment banking firm Avendus Capital that put Ambar Srivastava in touch with Binny Bansal in early 2015. The IIT-Delhi 2008 batch alumnus and founder of Wrig Nanosystems, a medical technology startup, had raised his first round of seed funding in 2011 from an IIT-Delhi alumnus, Manas Fuloria, and in 2015 was hunting for more funds. His call with Binny Bansal in July lasted for an hour and both discussed Wrig Nanosystems' flagship product: TrueHb Hemometer, a device that measures haemoglobin in the bloodstream. While Bansal decided to invest, the largest investor in the startup is also an IITDelhi alumnus — Gurpreet Singh, founder of US-based VC fund RoundGlass.
