Ash Arora

Ash Arora is a Partner at LocalGlobe where she has a keen focus on Enterprise AI and also spends time in Frontier Tech.

Prior to joining the team, Ash raised and launched $100M P2 Ventures, built a global team, and backed five unicorns at early stages.

Her earlier career spans founding and bootstrapping a prop-trading firm focused on LSTM/ NLP-based strategies, advising the Prime Minister’s Office in India on frontier tech investments and policy, and trading at Citi across commodities, FX, fixed income, and credit.

She went from pattern recognition to anomaly detection, and likes her founders like she likes her code: clean, opinionated and capable of breaking things - productively.

She actively advises startups from Harvard, Cambridge, Techstars, and AWS, and lectures on entrepreneurship at London Business School and IIM Ahmedabad. She studied mathematics and economics at Lady Shri Ram College in India - alma mater of the IMF Chief Economist, multiple Harvard professors, and Aung San Suu Kyi, among others. She also served as one of the youngest board members of their alumni association.
