Suraj Sipani — CEO
I have spent the last 4.5 years in building things from zero to one, with key focus on Q-commerce strategy, Category and revenue management with sustainable growth strategies. Being amongst the first few hires at Zepto, initially apart from setting up other functions as a generalist, with the team I have also set up the Category function from scratch, after which I took the focused role of working in the Category and Growth team at Zepto heading the Packaged Foods Business. My previous learning adventure was at OfBusiness, a high growth startup, where I built and led cross functional teams, and always strived for profitability at scale across Business Development and Supply Chain functions. There was one key takeaway from my experience at OfBusiness - always take an entrepreneurial approach, because it's okay to fail, but fail fast and succeed faster which is now ingrained in my working style. I thrive in Setups that allow me to take ownership, encouraging me to contribute and learn, challenge the status quo and always go the extra mile. While I have effectively led teams in multiple capacities before, I have consciously made sure to never delegate my learnings. Passionate about Q-commerce / E-commerce and the upcoming Indian digital ecosystem. Would be glad to exchange thoughts - Drop me a note on LinkedIn or e-mail me at sipani.suraj@gmail.com
