Sourav Gupta — CEO
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” – Lao Tzu and I live by that motto. Growing a successful venture is like walking a tightrope - challenging, yet rewarding. As a driven individual, I strive to overcome day-to-day challenges and stay focused to pursue my passion. Post completion of Mechatronics Engineering from the University of Manchester, I co-founded a start-up venture, XtraCover, an e-commerce platform that caters to the lifecycle management services of smartphones and other electronic devices. The vision behind Xtracover is to create awareness in the Indian ecosystem that would lead to making refurbished devices a valued choice, if not the preferred choice, of customers for their technology purchases. The need of the hour is to create a sustainable circular economy for smartphones and other electronic devices. As a Co-Founder and CEO, I handle multiple tasks including operations management, product portfolio, development of digital marketing strategy & product pricing, and funds management for Business Units. I generate insights, provide business analysis and develop & execute business strategies to ensure business development and enhanced revenue generation. I love to leverage data analytics & product-oriented mindset to better understand customer needs and make strategic decisions towards the introduction of new services. I am well versed with MS Office, Google Analytics, and Amazon Quicksight. I keep myself updated on the latest industry trends and have undergone certifications in Digital Marketing, eCommerce, Business Analytics, and Financial Modelling. I am also passionate about Sports, Technology, Books, Food and Wildlife. I love making new connections.
