7+ years in SFO // IND since 2017
“While pollution is a negative, having family close is great for me.”
I grew up in Delhi and later went to Stanford after which I worked at Oracle and then joined a startup funded by Lightspeed which was acquired by Walmart Labs. I lived in the Bay Area and SF, leading a team of 50 at Walmart. At the time, India/APAC was growing significantly so I moved back to start the India office of an SF based startup. However, big headwinds hit e-commerce in India at the time and business scaled down. One option was to go back but I decided to join magicpin, a Series A startup funded by Lightspeed, which has since grown substantially. While pollution is a negative, having family close is great for me. One caveat I’d let others know is that it gets harder to move back to India with age.
