Our Management Team
In the bustling heart of Silicon Valley in 2014, amidst a wave of technological evolution, a new narrative was taking shape. Adroit Capital is the brainchild of Sanjiv Goyal and Amit Goel, a first-generation Indian American entrepreneur. It was a dream crystallizing into reality, the product of countless sleepless nights spent brainstorming and a passion for harnessing tomorrow’s potential. With a keen eye for the next big innovation, the tech futurist had always envisioned a world where technology wasn’t just a tool but a transformative force. With a background steeped in AI and its myriad applications, they understood the untapped potential of intertwining industries like Food, Tech, and Real Estate with cutting-edge technology. They believed in the power of narratives and understood that every Investment was a story waiting to be told. Whether it was an AI startup aiming to revolutionize healthcare or a Food Tech venture working on zero-waste production, behind each was a tale of ambition, perseverance, and innovation.
Together, they forged a partnership that transcended traditional business dynamics. Their shared vision was clear: investing wasn’t solely about financial gains. It was about pioneering a future-ready for 10 billion souls, a planet thriving and sustainable. They saw a future where AI met Hollywood, where technological advancements weren’t just for the tech-savvy but painted the silver screen with stories that resonated with all.
Today, Adroit Capital stands as a testament to their shared dream. A diverse portfolio, from AI ventures to Hollywood productions, speaks volumes of a journey marked by foresight and creativity. Their mission, now etched in the annals of their company’s history, remains unwavering: to collaborate with the brightest minds and invest in a future where technology and narratives go hand in hand, creating a world ready and welcoming for all. Behind Adroit Capital is not just a tech futurist and an author. It’s a visionary duo, bridging the worlds of technology and storytelling, always ready for the future.
Our president, Sanjiv Goyal, recently wrote a book on ‘The Promise of AI from Policymakers’. Sanjiv also chaired the IIT2020 conference on behalf of 250,000+ global IIT Alumni. India’s Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, delivered the keynote speech with 156 elite thought leaders and over 50,000 attendees present.
