Mayfield Fund’s Navin Chaddha is a serial entrepreneur turned venture capitalist. Recently, Navin’s name was included in the prestigious Forbes Midas List top 100 dealmakers in 2007.

I caught up with Navin at the Pan IIT Global Conference to find out how he transitioned from being a successful serial entrepreneur to a venture capitalist. Navin was the founder and CTO of VXtreme, which was acquired by Microsoft and eventually became Windows Media. He then went on to co-found iBeam Corporation and was the CEO of Rivio.

Navin has been actively involved in investing in India for the past 10 years. As managing director at Mayfield, Navin is leading their India strategy. Earlier this year Mayfield invested in India-based Tejas Network, and Navin joined the board of the company. Besides Tejas Networks, his other Mayfield investments include Mimosa Systems, Seedfund and WinChorus.
