Nitesh Shende — Co-Founder
With 16 years of experience leading products at Porter, Amazon, Flipkart, APC, and Subex, I have built and scaled world-class teams, platforms, and products that manage billions of records and drive multi-billion-dollar revenue streams. My journey spans both B2B and B2C, across domains such as e-commerce marketplaces, AdTech, CRM, and analytics, giving me a unique perspective on solving complex problems at scale. Recognized as a leader in the product and startup ecosystem, I have spoken at multiple conferences and actively mentor and invest in startups at pre-seed/seed stage, while also advising VCs and founders on product strategy and execution. These experiences, coupled with the hard lessons learned through failures, have sharpened my ability to navigate uncertainty, innovate across functions, and negotiate win-win outcomes. Core strengths include: Building high-performance teams from scratch and scaling them into global product organizations. Driving cross-functional innovations that accelerate growth and unlock new business opportunities. Leading parallel large-scale product initiatives without compromising focus or execution quality. Shaping organizations through coaching, storytelling, and fostering innovation cultures. I thrive at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and execution—bringing structure to ambiguity and transforming vision into products that scale, inspire, and deliver measurable business impact. I welcome opportunities to connect with leaders, startups, and organizations seeking to shape the next wave of technology innovation.
