Shivani Thakur — Founder
I’m Shivani, Cofounder & CEO of PrepAud, An audio-first exam prep app designed for the next million aspirants from Bharat. I’ve spent the last few years building products, teams, and systems that scale - across content, edtech, and audio. With PrepAud, we're transforming how government exam aspirants study, replacing noisy & scattered prep with focused and expert-led audio content that fits their lifestyle. It's learning is designed for the bus ride, the lunch break, the 5 a.m. grind. I'm obsessed about the 0→1 journey. Previously, I worked at KUKU FM as Content Director, where I produced 100+ shows end-to-end, led the pilot team, and ran workshops to onboard new writers, creators, and production houses. My obsession with systems and flows helped me standardise content quality and streamline internal processes, allowing the team to play to their strengths while delivering exceptional output at scale. Over the last 6 years, I’ve lived and breathed content and media - across roles, formats, and platforms. But the core of my work has always stayed the same: 1. Take full ownership of whatever I build 2. Create systems that scale teams and outputs 3. Build content operations that are smart, lean, and self-sustaining 4. Lead in a way that creates more leaders, not dependencies As a founder, I’m hands-on and deeply involved from scripting content flows to speaking to users in small towns, from shaping product experience to crafting brand narrative. I believe in shipping fast, learning faster, and never losing sight of the “why.” #EdTech #AudioInnovation #Content #WomenInLeadership #ProductThinking #FounderJourney #BuildForBharat
