The energy at Lightbox is contagious. I looked forward to coming into work every day because there was never a dull moment and no two days were ever the same.
My 6 months at Lightbox have been nothing short of rich (pun not intended!)
Coming from a field that was seemingly unrelated to VC, I was nervous and perhaps even thought I was out of my depth while starting my internship; but despite my steep learning curve, that quickly changed. The biggest reason for which was the people. Every single person that I've worked or engaged with was so approachable, patient and ready-to-help/teach that no task, however big or small felt insurmountable. It was the perfect combination of being challenged yet supported - a first for me.
From the get go, I was thrown into the deep-end (of course with a life jacket i.e. Ankit) and I couldn't be more grateful because it was the best way to learn. Lightbox has been such an immersive experience, so much so that I actually felt part of a team that was not only investing in, but also building and growing some incredible companies. My time at Lightbox was filled with plenty of amazing conversations, shark-tank style pitches, thoroughly engaging and stimulating work, lots of mentorship, copious amounts of food, drinks and laughs! And the cherry on top - the office is just too damn pretty!
The past 6 months have been the most enriching, professionally and personally and I have learnt things that I will remember (and use) for a lifetime (sounds dramatic, but 100% true)
It was a privilege to be part of the LB team and to say the least - I'd do it all over again!
Rooms lined only by windows, open gardens, fresh light pouring in. The office itself is a Lightbox! The array of clientele that visited and worked with Lightbox was fascinating. With a portfolio that ranges from mobile apps to solar energy, there really was a story behind the monthly Income statements.
The team has a ‘beginners mindset’ that creates a humbling atmosphere where everyone was constantly willing to learn.
They say, we are the people we meet. Lightbox definitely has left a lasting impression on me.
It was during the LP week that I realized that Lightbox is a firm and an environment in which even a day or two is enough to change your perspective on company building but more importantly, improve your vision on your own aspirations.
It was an experience I desperately needed to change my outlook towards life. I thought that startups and VCs are mostly about making quick money before things eventually fall apart. At Lightbox, I realized that VCs can also be agents for change that could impact the future of humanity in much more positive way and this way of thinking makes things so inspiring.
One of the ways you gauge how good a company is how much you miss it after you leave. Somehow everything comes together in an amazing work place – the work, the people and the vibe.
The phenomenal team, amazing office and interesting, changing work keeps are only a few things on a very long list of why my summer at Lightbox made interns everywhere jealous!
Mathematician and magician in equal parts. Now conjuring tricks at Harvard. A quote he lives by: "Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.
Born in Bombay and fashion-schooled in London, she switched to the other side to build Down to Dash, an activity based network for college students.
Excitement, dynamism, and meaningful interactions with some of India’s most fascinating people- this is what Lightbox offers to any intern privileged enough to entwine themselves into their world.
Lightbox had a tremendous impact on me. I was slated to attend a Master’s program in the US but due to the experience and frank inputs of the people I worked with and met, I was able to make a more informed and well thought out decision. Today, I am working on my own project, for which, Lightbox deserves credit.
The first thing which comes to my mind about this internship is – Couchez moins bete chaque soir. Sleep a bit more intelligent every night.
AI in Indian education technology is probably the most advanced in the world. It is challenging traditional western models particularly in integrating effectively with public and private systems in the country.
Any VC can teach you about the industry. Only Lightbox can teach you passion.

Every bit the New Yorker she is. A Yale graduate, bulletproofed at McKinsey, now in her second year at Harvard Business School. Bedazzled by Bollywood, she spend the summer with us in Mumbai to understand what's next in content and media.
