Nitin Gupta — Co-Founder
With over 14 years of experience, I have a proven track record in building and leading engineering functions from the ground up. Throughout my career, I have honed my leadership skills and successfully attracted top talent while fostering a strong company culture. My expertise lies in creating and delivering high-impact deep-tech products. One of my notable accomplishments was leading the technology, product, and data functions at Milkbasket. I had a clear vision of developing a world-class consumer platform with high engagement. By optimizing our product and engineering readiness, we were able to handle a scale of over 1 million orders while keeping infrastructure costs at just 1/10th of the industry benchmarks. Despite having a relatively small team of 20+ engineering and data professionals, we achieved remarkable results. Before my time at Milkbasket, I had the privilege of working with two of India's most successful startups, Flipkart and Ola. At Flipkart, I gained valuable experience in building a future-ready TechStack that enabled marketplace growth and scalability exceeding 10X. In my role at Ola, I partnered closely with the founders to navigate the company's growth from its early days to handling millions of transactions daily. I spearheaded strategic technology projects and played a pivotal role in launching new business verticals such as profitability, grocery, and food, as well as international expansion initiatives. Furthermore, I am an active angel investor and mentor to early-stage startups across diverse sectors, including education, legal, fintech, and more. My wide-ranging experience and expertise enable me to provide valuable guidance and support to budding entrepreneurs. Overall, my career highlights a strong track record in creating and leading engineering functions, driving innovation, and delivering impactful results in the fast-paced startup ecosystem.
