Arjun
Nijhawan
Entrepreneur · Business Leader · Angel Investor
Building businesses, backing founders, and bringing operational depth to everything in between.
“I have spent my career at the intersection of building, operating, and investing — each one making me sharper at the other two.”
Arjun Nijhawan has spent over a decade building and running businesses at the Nijhawan Group, one of India’s well-established travel and retail conglomerates. Leading its retail vertical, he scaled operations from the ground up — a discipline that gave him an operator’s understanding of what it actually takes to build something that lasts.
Alongside his work at the Group, he co-founded Fork ‘N’ Spoon Catering Pvt. Ltd., bringing the same operational rigour into a business he built from scratch. That experience — of carrying both the strategy and the execution simultaneously — shaped how he engages with founders today.
Since 2018, Arjun has been an active angel investor in the Indian startup ecosystem, backing companies across enterprise software, consumer services, healthcare, and finance. He is known among founders for being a working partner, not a passive one — involved in refining models, making introductions, and working through early-stage problems together.
