Building Fundraising Narratives
Abhisomya builds the investor story from the ground up, starting with sectoral research and ending with a pitch that is calibrated to what a specific VC cares about. He has done this at LightFury Games, where he built the Series A pitch deck for India's first triple-A gaming studio from scratch, and at Orbitel Labs, where he shaped the investor narrative for an early-stage voice AI product entering the BFSI sector. His process runs from competitive landscape mapping and primary conversations with customers and VCs, through to narrative structure, slide cadence, and live iteration based on what he observes in the room. The fundraising effort he contributed to at LightFury went on to close a multi-million dollar pre-Series A round using the same deck and narrative framework.

Competitive Landscape Mapping
Abhisomya maps competitive landscapes by combining primary conversations with customers, founders, and VCs with secondary research on funding activity and talent movement. At Orbitel Labs, he tracked the voice AI and fintech CX market by talking to customers about real component costs, talking to VCs about available subsidies, and monitoring which companies were entering the space and who they were hiring. At Slick, he interviewed founders and product managers from established dating platforms, synthesized the findings into a structured Notion memo, and drove feature implementation based on what he learned. His research outputs are not analytical exercises. They feed directly into investor narratives, product decisions, and commercial positioning.

Early-Stage Investment Framing
Abhisomya has developed a working framework for evaluating early-stage companies by sitting on the founder's side of the diligence process across multiple firms and sectors. He weights founder-market fit and timing heavily at seed stage, where financial data is thin, and has learned to ask whether a category is actually growing, whether the team has earned the right to solve the problem, and what has changed in the market to make the current window the right one. He has applied this lens at Delta Visionaries, building investment theses for VC mandates, and at LightFury and Orbitel, where he shaped the narratives that had to hold up under that same scrutiny from the other side of the table. This is an emerging pattern: the framework is grounded in real experience, but has not yet been applied in a formal investment research capacity.

Building GTM Playbooks for New Products
Abhisomya builds GTM playbooks for new products by combining competitive research, pricing strategy, and customer acquisition planning into a single operating motion. At Orbitel Labs, he built the GTM strategy for an AI-powered voice product in the BFSI sector, including pricing models, positioning, and early customer acquisition plans. He also designed client onboarding SOPs and CRM dashboards to operationalize the motion. His approach connects the investor narrative to the customer narrative: the same competitive intelligence that shapes the pitch also shapes how the product is positioned to early customers. This is an emerging pattern with one primary context at Orbitel.
