Bio
Mallika Kapoor
Amira is a natural when it comes to marketing and event planning. She not only has an innate interest towards beauty but she also understands the personal and competitive spirit of the industry. During her time with the company, she excelled in all brand partnership tasks that were assigned to her. Additionally, she also took the initiative to drive branding activities through collaborative events and interacting with potential customers during offline events. She's equally strong in creative and analytical thinking; two qualities that I believe will serve her well in any strategic marketing role.

Amira is super sharp with the 'can-do' attitude that will take her far. I had the fortune of adding Amira to our team. As a venture firm, there are always small fires popping up, Amira handled everything we threw at her. She would be a great asset to any team.

Had an amazing time working with the team, and immersing myself into the Singapore start-up scene. Because I'm interested in starting ventures of my own, I was very curious to learn about the VC's perspectives and processes in the investment process. My time at Golden Gate was spent conducting research, organising the company Trello and Dashboard.io platforms, sitting in on mentorship meetings and helping organise 'Walkabout SG' (an open house of sorts for Singapore's tech start-ups).
