Building Refrens. Com- a market network for B2B service providers. Independent Director - E2E Networks Limited - IPO 2018. Early Investor- Cashfree, DailyNinja, Holidify, SpringRole, Neat, Sugoi Labs. Last startup - FindYogi. Com - profitable, sold to Way2 News. Earlier, I helped build Freecharge.in from an idea to its first 100K users. As the first hire, I was handling product, marketing and technology single handed. The customer acquisition cost and rate of growth that I commanded is never heard of in Indian ecommerce space - 2K transaction/day in less than 100 days from launch @ less than Rs.4/user. Sorry, couldn't make it sound more modest. :)I left Freecharge to join ZipDial. The "missed call" idea behind ZipDial is something I had worked on back in college. We built a prototype and won couple of awards at BPlan competitions. ZipDial was taking it commercial and it seemed a promising team to work with. At ZipDial as well I was the first hire. I started as product manager, moved into enterprise sales and then handled marketing during my final months. All this while I also blogged about startups and consumer web in India at NextBigWhat. Com, contributing 250+ articles.
