My inbox today is full of messages of people saying how much he encouraged them to chase their dreams, seeing in people very often what they could not for themselves. Very few are also aware that this generosity and kindness underpinned a lot of wonderful philanthropic work he did with multiple charities, because Rohan always committed to action and spoke little of the impact he created.
It is important to acknowledge that he was the driving force behind starting Sauce.vc and we would not be here today, had I not met Rohan. The journey started with Hokey Pokey and later Epigamia and I was lucky to be an early investor, and I was privileged to have his family as Sauce's first backer. I am yet to meet a founder who has sacrificed so much personally, straddling two lives across two continents to build a great business. His integrity, empathy for founders and passion for building will continue to be the guiding tenets of our work.
At a personal level, my family and I have lost a partner, a friend and a brother. He definitely changed our lives for the better and it will not be the same without him.
