𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 VVSEAI 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺: Shradha Nigam

Shradha Nigam | 23 May 2025

We're excited to share our "𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 VVSEAI 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺" series to introduce the wonderful, multi-faceted talent we have in the Vertex Ventures SEA & India! For the month of May, we would like to introduce our colleague Shradha Nigam based in India.

1.What did you do before Vertex and what did you study?

I began my career at Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co and later moved to Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas & Co, both among India’s leading corporate law firms, where I represented a range of private equity and venture capital investors in investments and M&A transactions. Before joining Vertex, I was part of GOAT Brand Labs, a D2C house of brands startup. There, I led legal operations across a portfolio of brands, gaining hands-on experience with the fast-paced world of consumer startups.

I graduated from the National Law School of India University, Bangalore.

2. What are the things you most enjoy about working at Vertex SEA & India?

I really enjoy working with colleagues and stakeholders from different geographies and professional backgrounds as it brings a diversity of perspectives that constantly challenges and broadens my thinking. The team here is incredibly welcoming, and the opportunity to understand the commercial rationale behind deals gives me richer context as a legal advisor. I particularly enjoy the exposure to cross-border investments. It's fascinating to see how legal frameworks differ across jurisdictions, and where they converge with or diverge from Indian law. It's a great way to broaden my legal perspective.

3. Tell us something we didn't know that you do outside of work.

I’m a foodie with a fitness tracker, constantly trying to balance one with the other! Lately, I’ve added Japanese to the mix and spent my time trying to master the language and sushi menus alike.

Last month, we featured another colleague, Vania, read more about her here.
