Rahul Sachdev — Co-Founder
Business leader with over 15 years of experience building and scaling consumer brands across India’s CPG, Retail, Internet, and D2C ecosystems. I’ve operated at the intersection of strategy, category design, and execution — from shaping 0-to-1 ventures to leading ₹1,000 Cr+ businesses in large consumer-tech organizations. At FirstClub, I’m building one of India’s most exciting, quality-first retail models — leading business launches and category architecture across fresh, packaged, and private-label portfolios. Previously at Myntra, I built the Beauty and Wellness business and expanded the Monetisation vertical, scaling both into market-leading units and creating new revenue streams to set them up for the years ahead. Earlier at Hindustan Unilever, where I began my career as an intern and later as a Business Leadership Trainee (Management Trainee), I worked across Sales and Brand Management roles. Starting as an Area Sales Manager in Western U.P., I learned the nuances of rural distribution, later helping drive one of the company’s biggest transformations — Winning in Many India — as a Regional Customer Marketing Manager. I then moved into first-principles consumer marketing within the nascent men’s-grooming portfolio spanning Axe and other brands. I thrive on building consumer-centric businesses, scaling high-performance teams, and crafting brand mixes that combine purpose, performance, and profitability. Always open to conversations around digital commerce, consumer trends, and leadership in the evolving Indian consumption story.
