Bala Krishna Gowda — Co-Founder
I’m a results-driven Business Development and Operations professional with 7+ years of experience across e-commerce, export management, and construction, with a strong track record of driving growth, building relationships, and setting up scalable processes. At Zantva E-commerce Pvt. Ltd., I launched and grew a child-safe, eco-friendly toy brand from scratch, achieving ₹30L+ in sales while managing end-to-end operations—fulfillment, finance, customer support, and brand-building. I led a six-member cross-functional team, built a 1.3K+ strong parent community on Instagram through content (reels, carousels), and actively worked on fundraising by preparing pitch decks and engaging with angel investors and VCs. In my Business Development role at Sholay Exports Anywhere LLP, I handled exports of toys and vegetables and imports of furniture hardware, coordinated with CHAs and freight forwarders, evaluated domestic and international suppliers, built B2B partnerships with artisans and clients, and executed email marketing campaigns while representing the company at trade fairs. Earlier, in the construction domain, I successfully executed multiple infrastructure projects from concept to completion, managing vendors, site teams, regulatory compliance, and timelines—giving me a strong foundation in project management and stakeholder handling. I’m particularly interested in roles in Business Development, Growth, and Revenue Ownership where I can combine my founder-level ownership mindset with structured execution, B2B relationship-building, and data-backed decision-making to help organizations scale faster and more efficiently.
