Former Flybridge Capital Partners senior associate Anand Daniel has made the move to Accel Partners to work as a principal in the investment firm’s office in India, and he’s writing about his move and the changes in his “Boston to Bangalore” blog.

Daniel has made several connections in Boston, initially through MIT’s Sloan School of Management, followed by his work at Flybridge, where he joined the boards of portfolio companies Tewksbury’s CHiL Semiconductor, Boston’s Digital Lumens and Sciformix of Westborough.

At Accel Partners, he will be responsible for seed and early stage companies in India. Accel Partners has offices in India, China, London and California.

Flybridge Capital was founded in 2001, originally named IDG Ventures Atlantic until its name change in 2008. The firm invests in seed and early-stage companies in the consumer, energy, health care and information technology markets.
