Amit Kumar — CEO

Global Business Leader | Marketplace & E-commerce Specialist | AI & Sustainability Advocate | TEDx Speaker I am a 40-under-40 award-winning business leader with a track record of building scalable businesses, leading high-performing teams, and driving innovation across diverse industries and geographies. Over the past 16 years, I’ve grown from a management trainee to a Global CXO and startup CEO, working across Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America in sectors such as classifieds, e-commerce, FMCG, and telecom. My expertise lies in creating intuitive products, understanding consumer value chains (auto, fashion, electronics), and serving diverse consumer segments—from premium to the bottom of the pyramid. As the former Managing Director & CEO of OLX India (backed by Naspers/Prosus, a major shareholder of Tencent), I led the transformation of India’s largest classifieds platform and built a thriving used-car transactions business. My work has always been about scaling businesses, fostering innovation, and delivering impact. Today, I’m taking a step back to explore the world, immerse myself in new cultures, and seek inspiration for my next chapter. I’m passionate about leveraging technology—especially AI and sustainability—to solve real-world problems and create meaningful change. Along the way, I continue to mentor startups, speak at TEDx events, and collaborate with organizations like Stanford SEED to give back to the global community. If you’re as excited about the future of marketplaces, e-commerce, and AI as I am—or if you’d just like to connect over a virtual coffee—I’d love to hear from you.
