In 2002– I worked hard and made it to a top US university for a PhD. Program in Physics, on a full scholarship. I recall my dad taking a loan of Rs. 55,000 to pay for the one-way ticket to the US.
Fast forward to 2009, I founded my first venture with my batchmates from ISB, called SecondShaadi.com and Gaadi.com. And thus my entrepreneurial journey began.
After selling Gaadi.com in 2010 I started Groupon’s India business in 2011. I was also Head of Groupon APAC from 2013-15.
