About

Investment Thesis
Rohati Capital runs a dual thesis as both a direct investor and an allocator: they give a curated investor community access to selected venture funds and to the direct deals alongside them. Built by former Amazon operators, they argue that technical and scaling expertise earns access that capital alone cannot, investing across the United States, India and other global markets.
Manager's Experience
Built by former Amazon operators and named from the Sanskrit for "to ascend." Nick Talwar is Managing Partner, with Jason MacRae, Charles Elkan and Steven Himmel as Investing Partners, K.V. Dhillon as Business Development Partner and Alen Rakipovic as Technical Advisor and Partner. Charles Elkan is a machine-learning academic and former Amazon and Goldman Sachs ML leader. The firm gives a select investor community access to a curated group of venture funds and to the direct deals alongside them, across the United States, India and other global markets, positioning itself as builders who add operating value rather than financiers bringing only capital. Fund size and portfolio not disclosed.
