Coursera has been the best and most rewarding work I have done. I joined to lead the India business and a small team of five people in April 2017. Over the last eight years, I led APAC’s Enterprise, Consumer and Degrees strategy, execution and culture. As a result, we grew revenues at a 60%+ CAGR, 10 Enterprise customers to 1,000+, 2M learners to 55M+, and from five passionate Courserians to 350.

Blablacar

India Country Manager

Sep 2014 – Mar 2017 · 2 yrs 6 mos · Gurgaon, India

BlaBlaCar is the world’s leading community-based travel app enabling 27M active members a year to share a ride in 21 countries. Its technology matches car owners with empty seats with passengers heading the same way, so they can share the cost of the trip. With the mission to be the go-to marketplace for shared travel, BlaBlaCar combines carpooling with bus journeys from 5K+ operators to offer a wide choice of affordable and sustainable travel solutions.
I partnered up with the company’s Founders and launched BlaBlaCar in India in January 2015. In a country with insufficient public transport infrastructure and expensive fuel costs, I successfully led the creation of an entirely new people powered transport network. Within our first 18 months in India, over 5M seats were offered on BlaBlaCar! Along with driving the overall business, I led the creation of our game changing partnerships in the market.
