T.V. Mohandas Pai is the Chairman of 3one4 Capital and is widely considered one of India’s most influential business leaders, policy advocates, and public intellectuals. A Padma Shri awardee (2015), he is best known for his transformative tenure as the CFO of Infosys, where he set the “gold standard” for Indian corporate governance and financial transparency. Today, he is a central figure in the Indian startup ecosystem, managing several billion dollars in assets through various investment vehicles.

Mohandas Pai is recognized for his “unfiltered” and data-heavy approach to public discourse. Whether he is debating on national television or writing for The Financial Express, his focus remains on meritocracy and accountability. He is a unique bridge between the “Old Guard” of the 1990s IT boom and the “New Guard” of the 2026 AI and Deep-Tech era.
