About Salone Seghal: My next guest on The One Percent Project is Salone Sehgal, a trailblazer in the world of gaming and interactive media. Salone has shattered the glass ceiling by becoming the world's first female general partner of games and interactive media VC funds. Her impressive journey has seen her co-founding Lumikai Fund, India's first early-stage interactive media and gaming VC. Salone's remarkable career expanded to over 18 years as a global game and new media investor, games entrepreneur, and former M&A banker.  In this conversation, she talks about the history of gaming, the cultural impact of gaming, the female Indian gamer, the unit economics of the gaming industry, and much more.
