Agna focuses on institutional funds, products & services across the east-west corridor. Agna is a multifaceted word with diverse cultural references. In East across Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, it signifies ‘Intuition, Insight, and Inner Wisdom’, representing Agna Chakra, or the Third Eye, the sixth primary energy point in a human’s body. From Arabic and Bosnian roots, the word resonates with being ‘Real and Original’. In ancient Greek and Latin, it is a variation of ‘Agnes’, embodying ‘Holy and Pure’. As the world is becoming chaotic and the action is sustainably shifting from the West to the East, it will require foresight and wisdom i.e., Agna-way, to make investment and strategic decisions today that will create a better world of tomorrow and in the process, create exponential alpha for investors and partners. We are committed to audacious founders across Data and Engineering. Agna is a brand affiliated with Woodstock Fund. #eastwestcorridor #emergingmarkets #emergingtechnologies Twitter : @agnacapital Website : www.agnaholdings.com
