Priyansh Rai — Co-Founder
I'm currently helping build categories at The Wedding Company. This is all about band-baza-baarat! Front facade changed from UC > Livspace > TWC, setting playbook and scaling remains key deliverables. How I ended up here: I have always been passionate about Physics. During school days I was in love with Classical Physics and Quantum. Always excited to learn and understand new things happening in the field of Science. Completed my graduation as a Mechanical Engineer and loved dealing with machines from mechanics and practical perspective. While I wanted to go abroad for my masters in Physics, I thought to do something of my own as an entrepreneur. Started something similar to today's Blinkit in 2015. Ran out of cash for myself and ended up in a consulting position working with startups, analyzing and helping them raise funds. After taking a deep dive in the startup ecosystem, switched to the Corporate Finance side within same org. Worked with MSMEs, seeing 10Cr. to 1000 Cr. topline, from Atta manufacturer to Steel and Petroleum products. Dealt in core finance, worked on various assignments of Debt, Equity and Structured Funding to raise funds for clients. Then joined Blacksof as a Co-Founder. I have always been passionate about design, aesthetics, and conceptualization of how things should be. Blacksof brings together data, technology, and insights that drive creativity and create innovative and engaging work in the graphic design space for clients regionally and globally. Took an exit from Blacksof and while on the lookout for next great thing to work on, I struck cord with UC. UC taught me basics of Category Management, building it from scratch and how B2C business is done digitally. t both central and city level roles, I got to understand the nitty-gritty of new age businesses, playbook to launch, grow and scale!
