Informação não é compreensão | Sipika Nigam | TEDxBocconiUMumbai

A investidora de capital de risco Sipika Nigam analisa por que a informação, sozinha, raramente leva a um grande avanço. Com base em 15 anos e mais de 4.000 conversas, ela relata experiências que vão desde o aluguel de um imóvel em Bombaim até a captação de recursos durante a crise de microcrédito em Andhra e encontros com 3.000 agricultores. A palestra apresenta um modelo simples em quatro etapas: contexto, confiança, debate e avanço.

• A diferença entre reunir fatos sobre alguém e entender de onde essa pessoa vem
• Exemplos do setor imobiliário, do microcrédito e de conversas com agricultores

Sipika Nigam is a venture capital investor with over 14 years of experience across investments, private equity and the startup ecosystem and an alumna of SDA Bocconi Asia Center. In this talk, Sipika draws on 15 years and over 4,000 conversations, from renting real estate in Bombay to fundraising through the Andhra microfinance crisis to sitting across 3,000 farmers to unpack why information alone rarely gets you to a breakthrough. She lays out a simple model - context, trust, sparring, breakthrough, showing how the same apartments, the same pitch decks and the same rejections look entirely different once you stop collecting facts about someone and start getting curious about where they're actually coming from.
