AKCJ Ventures recently partnered with IIM Bangalore's NSRCEL Women Startup Program to deliver a session on "Finance and Cash Management," led by our Senior Investment Analyst CA Nikhil Singh. Designed for early-traction and revenue-generating startups, the session provided actionable insights to enhance financial understanding and decision-making.

Key topics included differentiating growth and maintenance CapEx, analyzing financial statements like income statements and cash flow statements, and understanding their interconnections for tracking profitability. Participants also explored fixed and variable costs, operating leverage, breakeven analysis, and the significance of bookkeeping for forecasting and compliance.

The session emphasized optimizing the working capital cycle by managing inventory, receivables, and payables effectively. Strategies to maximize returns on capital employed (ROCE) and use financial data for sustainable growth were also discussed.

Highly interactive and practical, the session equipped participants with tools to implement immediately in their ventures. AKCJ Ventures is proud to collaborate on initiatives that empower women entrepreneurs and foster excellence.
