Charu G. — Co-Founder
Founding-level operator who builds the business side of AI products, SaaS, Consumer, GCC. Business Head who has scaled consumer and platform businesses from 0–1 and at scale, with deep strength in customer insight, GTM, and execution. I’ve spent the last 17+ years building and scaling businesses across e-commerce, Consumer brands, marketplaces, and technology - often from very early stages - while owning P&L, unit economics, and execution at scale. One of the most defining chapters of my journey was Medlife, where I was a founding business leader and helped scale the company from inception to $0 → $100M in revenue in three years. Along the way, I learned how to build strong growth engines grounded in fundamentals - customer acquisition that makes economic sense, thoughtful pricing and margins, and teams that can execute consistently as the business scales. Since then, I’ve worked across consumer categories including health, food, and consumer tech, with leadership roles at Chai Point, BigBasket, Healthkart, and BYJU’S. I enjoy the mix of strategy and hands-on execution—launching categories, scaling growth across digital and physical channels, and building teams that can navigate both speed and complexity. More recently, I co-founded a US-based startup, leading go-to-market, pricing, and early revenue while working closely with customers and teams across the US and India. That experience deepened my appreciation for operating across cultures and building businesses that balance growth with structure. I’m most energized by roles where I can partner closely with founders, boards, or global leadership to build the next phase of growth. I’m currently exploring D2C leadership roles (CEO / CMO+ / Business Head) as well as India leadership roles within global organizations or GCCs, where strong execution, clarity of economics, and thoughtful scale really matter.
