One of the challenges I am facing is lack of search funds to intern in India to get experience in the industry. Additionally I do not have access to Private Equity and Venture Capitalist connections in India.

Great Question Rohit! I have been attending search fund conferences in the US. These are great places to meet a bunch of Investors or other professionals in a short amount of time. If that is not feasible for your situation, I would recommend using LinkedIn, or finding professional in the industries you're interested in and reaching out to them for advice. Maybe ask them for the opportunity to learn more about something. Some might not respond back to you, but if you can talk with one, they can usually introduce to another, and another to create a domino effect. Best of luck!
