Sampurna in Conversation with Robin Sukhia | India, Sweden, Startups & Global Business

Описание: What does it mean to grow up between two cultures and turn that identity into a global business vision? In this inspiring conversation, Sampurna from Deshvaani interviews Robin Sukhia, CEO of the Sweden-India Business Council, about his remarkable journey as a Swedish-Indian deeply connected to both countries.

Robin reflects on his childhood memories of visiting India every year, spending time with grandparents, cousins, and friends, and how those experiences shaped his lifelong interest in India. He shares how his roots influenced his career choices, eventually leading him into venture capital, where he spent over a decade investing in innovation and entrepreneurship. He also talks about becoming one of the first people in Northern Europe to invest in India through venture capital and his experience importing Ayurvedic products from India to Sweden.

The conversation explores business, culture, and society — from the importance of “show and tell” in innovation and the growing need for startup investors, to discussions on gender equality, work-life balance, and the future of the India–Sweden partnership. Robin also speaks warmly about the respect earned by the Indian community in Swedish society, the importance of learning Swedish for those who wish to settle in Sweden, and his excitement about future opportunities through free trade and collaboration.

Alongside business insights, Robin shares personal reflections on the strong influence of his father during childhood, his passion for football, and the values that continue to guide his life and leadership today.
