Priyanka Chopra on the lookout for startup investments

Speaking at the recently held Startup India Prarambh event by the Indian government, the actress had said that “ideas are the currency of the present”.

Chopra Jonas, who says she has always been fond of talk, was introduced to the investing world by her US manager Anjula Acharia who is also a venture capitalist. The actress said that she bets on startups that have found a gap in the market, have a social cause or just help people live their lives better, but are also of course, financially viable.

“I would love to invest in an Indian idea that resonates globally,” she said.

The actress said that in 2021 she’s looking to invest in startups that are a mix of beauty and tech, as well as education.
