We are pleased to welcome Gaja Capital as the Session Partner for VCCircle Family Office Summit 2026.

Microdrama OTT is moving beyond being just another short-form content trend β€” it is emerging as a serious revenue opportunity for content brands. In his @TechCircleIndia perspective, @srirammano of @contustech highlights how audience behaviour is shifting towards mobile-first, bite-sized entertainment. With vertically formatted episodes of 1–3 minutes, microdramas are built for today’s viewing habits - commutes, breaks, waiting time, and quick entertainment moments. What makes the format powerful is not just lower production cost. It is the ability to launch faster, test audience response in real time, scale what works, and move away from what doesn’t. For content brands, OTT platforms, and creators, this means sharper storytelling, faster monetization, and stronger repeat-viewing habits. As AI, personalization, multilingual content, and audience analytics evolve, microdrama could become one of the most exciting digital entertainment formats of the next five years. #Microdrama #OTT #ContentStrategy #MediaTech #CONTUSTECH #SriramManoharan #EnterpriseTech #PartneredPost

The VCCircle Forensic Accounting & Fraud Investigation Training concluded with a session that brought the conversation full circle what happens after fraud is discovered. The final session of the summit featured Hormuz Mehta, Partner, JSA, who shared his perspectives on "Legal Action & Governance After Fraud Discovery." While the preceding sessions explored identifying risks, conducting forensic investigations, and leveraging technology to detect fraud, this discussion focused on the critical actions that follow. From preserving evidence and managing internal investigations to navigating regulatory obligations, board oversight, and legal proceedings, the session underscored the importance of a structured and timely response. Drawing on practical legal scenarios, Hormuz highlighted how effective governance is not tested when everything goes right but when organizations are called upon to respond decisively in the face of misconduct. As we conclude two days of insightful discussions, A sincere thank you to all our distinguished speakers, industry experts, and participants for making this training an engaging platform for learning, dialogue, and the exchange of ideas. Until next time. #VCCircle #ForensicAccounting #FraudInvestigation #CorporateGovernance #LegalRisk #Compliance #RiskManagement #Leadership #CorporateIntegrity #JSA #VCCVersity

The conversation on AI and data-driven fraud detection continued with valuable insights from the KPMG Forensic Services team. Following the session by Sudesh Anand Shetty, Partner, Forensic Services, KPMG in India, expanded the discussion by examining how fraud risks evolve across different stages of a business lifecycle and why investigative approaches must evolve alongside them. Using a practical Forensic Red-Flag Framework, he highlighted how early warning signs differ from Seed and Series A companies to growth-stage businesses and mature enterprises. From aggressive revenue recognition and weak governance structures to valuation pressures and documentation gaps, the session offered a structured perspective on identifying risks before they become material issues. An insightful continuation of a session that reinforced how technology, experience, and professional judgement together form the foundation of effective fraud detection. #VCCircle #ForensicAccounting #FraudInvestigation #DataAnalytics #ArtificialIntelligence #CorporateGovernance #RiskManagement #FinancialCrime #KPMGIndia #ThoughtLeadership

As fraud grows more sophisticated, so must the methods used to detect it. The third session at the VCCircle Forensic Accounting & Fraud Investigation Summit featured Suveer Khanna, Partner & Head - Forensic Services, KPMG in India, who spoke on "Fraud Detection Using Data Analytics & AI." The session explored how data analytics and artificial intelligence are reshaping the way organizations approach fraud investigations. From identifying anomalies in large datasets to detecting behavioural patterns and uncovering risks that traditional reviews may overlook, technology is increasingly becoming an integral part of modern forensic investigations. Using global case studies and practical examples, Suveer shared how organizations can strengthen fraud detection capabilities while improving the speed, accuracy, and effectiveness of investigations. One message resonated throughout the session: technology can process data at scale, but meaningful investigations still rely on informed judgement and forensic expertise. An insightful discussion on how businesses can stay ahead of emerging risks by combining data, technology, and experience. #VCCircle #ForensicAccounting #FraudInvestigation #DataAnalytics #ArtificialIntelligence #RiskManagement #CorporateGovernance #FinancialCrime #KPMGIndia

As the conversations at the VCCircle Forensic Accounting & Fraud Investigation Summit continued, the focus shifted to a topic that sits at the heart of informed investing Forensic Due Diligence in PE/VC Transactions. The session was led by Dip Mehta, Partner, EY Forensic & Integrity Services, and Arjun Dhir, Director, EY Forensic & Integrity Services, with Arpinder Singh, India & Emerging Markets Leader, Forensic & Integrity Services, EY, joining the discussion later to share his perspectives. The speakers examined how forensic due diligence has become an indispensable component of the investment lifecycle helping investors look beyond financial statements to uncover hidden risks before capital is committed. From identifying financial misrepresentation and undisclosed related-party transactions to assessing governance practices, promoter credibility, and third-party risks, the discussion reinforced that successful investing demands more than financial analysis alone. The session also highlighted how forensic due diligence contributes to stronger investment decisions, protects enterprise value, and enables investors to anticipate reputational and operational risks well before they materialize. As investment landscapes continue to evolve, one message stood out clearly: the quality of due diligence often determines the quality of the investment. Insightful perspectives, practical frameworks, and a timely discussion from the EY Forensic & Integrity Services team. #VCCircle #ForensicAccounting #ForensicDueDiligence #PrivateEquity #VentureCapital #RiskManagement #CorporateGovernance #FinancialIntegrity #DealMaking #EY #ThoughtLeadership

We're live. The first day of the VCCircle Forensic Accounting & Fraud Investigation Training has officially begun, bringing together leaders from finance, forensic investigations, legal, governance, and risk management to discuss the challenges shaping today's business landscape. We are pleased to open the summit with Dr. Kishore Nuthalapati, Chief Financial Officer at BEKEM Infra Projects Pvt. Ltd., who is leading the inaugural session on "Financial Red Flags in Startup & PE Deals." His session explores some of the most critical accounting anomalies and fraud indicators that every investor, board member, auditor, CFO, and due diligence professional should recognize from aggressive revenue recognition and channel stuffing to related-party transactions, capitalization practices, and acquisition-related financial misstatements. As capital markets mature and transactions become increasingly complex, identifying these red flags early is no longer just a forensic exercise it's a strategic business imperative. An insightful start to what promises to be two days of meaningful conversations, practical insights, and knowledge sharing with some of the industry's most respected experts. #VCCircle #ForensicAccounting #FraudInvestigation #PrivateEquity #Startups #DueDiligence #CorporateGovernance #FinancialIntegrity #RiskManagement #CFO #InternalAudit #Forensics

As family offices expand across borders, structures, and asset classes, the role of regulatory clarity becomes central to capital preservation and responsible growth. Jurisdictions matter. Governance architecture matters. And so does the dialogue between allocators and institutions shaping the ecosystem. The VCCircle Family Office Summit 2026 creates space for that dialogue where capital meets policy, and long-term stewardship meets regulatory foresight. Joining the summit is Dr. Dipesh Shah, Executive Director (Development), International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA), bringing an institutional perspective on how India’s global financial architecture is evolving and what it means for family offices thinking beyond domestic boundaries. This is not a discussion about compliance. It is a conversation about alignment between capital intent, jurisdictional strategy, and durable governance. Designed for family office principals, CIOs, CFOs, and senior advisors navigating complexity with responsibility, not speculation. πŸ“ Taj Lands End, Mumbai πŸ—“ 23–24 July 2026 Register here: zurl.co/IoRBz #FamilyOfficeSummit2026 #VCCircle #FamilyOfficeLeadership #CapitalStewardship #WealthGovernance #LongTermCapital #ThoughtLeadership #PrivateWealth #CIOs #CFOs #Principals #InvestmentLeadership #IndiaFamilyOffices

Numbers rarely lie. They just choose what to reveal. A clean revenue curve can still conceal weak controls. A compelling growth story can still rest on fragile assumptions. And by the time discrepancies surface, capital has already been committed. This program is designed for professionals who cannot afford that lag. The Forensic Accounting & Fraud Investigation training equips investors, finance leaders, partners, and senior managers to interrogate financial narratives with precision understanding not just what the numbers say, but why they say it. Participants learn to distinguish genuine operating momentum from accounting creativity, aggressive recognition, and structural blind spots that rarely appear in pitch decks. Over two intensive days, the focus stays firmly on judgement: How red flags actually emerge, how patterns repeat across cases, & How experienced decision-makers learn to spot risk before it becomes a post-mortem discussion. This is not about mistrust. It is about stewardship. If your role involves allocating capital, overseeing governance, or signing off on financial integrity, this is the kind of capability that compounds quietly and protects reputations loudly. πŸ“… 25–26 June πŸŽ₯ Digital Training πŸŽ“ zurl.co/YvuLw #ForensicAccounting #FraudRisk #InvestmentJudgement #FinancialGovernance #DueDiligence #CapitalStewardship #CFOAgenda #InvestorEducation #VCCircleVersity #RiskAndControl
