India’s startup ecosystem has many builders — but only a few catalysts.

Utsav Somani is one of them.

From cold-emailing Naval Ravikant to launching AngelList India, and from early bets on ‪@CoinDCX‬ and ‪@BharatPeIndia‬ to building Offline, Utsav has helped shape India’s modern angel investing movement.

In this episode of the Create Wealth podcast, our co-founder Sandeep Jethwani sits down with Utsav to decode his journey — one of backing 180+ startups, creating access for founders where there was none, and now, solving for depth in India’s founder-investor networks.

Utsav opens up about his investment philosophy, lessons from massive exits, his evolving portfolio, and why private communities like Offline are the next frontier for serious wealth builders.

In this episode, Utsav reveals:

1️⃣ What it took to build India’s early-stage investing infrastructure from scratch

2️⃣ How Utsav translated Naval’s principles into actionable strategy

3️⃣ The thesis behind some of his biggest investments

4️⃣ What goes into a 100x return — and why most people get angel investing wrong

5️⃣ Why he’s betting on curated, offline communities in a world obsessed with scale

This is the kind of conversation that rewires how you think about investing and networking.
