Zomato

4 roles

Vice President Business

Promoted

Jan 2015 – Jan 2017 · 2 yrs

Zomato is the first Indian tech startup to go global and be listed ($28B market cap). Joined in the seed stage team - I launched international markets + led key sales teams over the years. Been an education and privilege living the wins and tribulations of this journey. Learnt how agenda-less relationships + product obsession + developing a thick skin for constant rejection, are a constant across any build.
The biggest win without a doubt, has been the friendships I have made.

Robin hood army

Founder

Jan 2014 – Present · 12 yrs 4 mos

The LinkedIn update closest to my heart - the Robin Hood Army (RHA) is a volunteer based organisation that works to get surplus food from restaurants across to the less fortunate through a zero-funds model.
The RHA has a network of 300,000+ Robins who are active in 407 cities, and has served meals to 175 million people till date. Every person in the RHA does this in their free time; the model is now a Harvard case study on systems + culture. Our mission statement is simple: bring out the best of humanity using food as a medium - we do hope this journey is just getting started.
Google the team to know more about the mission, and join us as a partner/Robin.
