Canaan Partners, a multi-billion dollar global venture capital firm, has announced the appointment of Rahul Khanna as a Managing Director of Canaan India. Prior to joining Canaan India, Khanna was Founding Director of Mumbai-based Clearstone Venture Advisors, the India advisory practice of the global early-stage venture firm Clearstone Venture Partners. Khanna will lead new investments in early-stage, India-based technology companies in the consumer internet, mobile, software, and managed services industries.

Canaan Partners is one of the few early stage venture capital firms which has stuck to its mandate of doing classic private early stage investments in India and the addition of Khanna in the senior leadership team , who brings with himself an early stage experience, goes to show that the venture capital firm will expand in this direction only.
