Ashish Pandey
Pune, India
A decade of hustle in varied & diverse companies such as
Zee Enterprises(Media) to
Asian Paints Ltd (FMCG) and from there to
Zomato (Ad tech, India's answer to Yelp+Grubhub).
Paused in between from selling brands to creating brands for Relfor labs from scratch (we created 6 self-sustaining brands in consumer tech).
Moved back to an opportunity that combined my love for digital and Interior decor space with legend Ikea invested Indian firm Livspace.
Was working on running a very complex business of making creative designers become sales machines and operations folks become project managers.
Absolute chaotic fun every working minute!
Currently, I am working on using my Indian decor consumer knowledge majorly from Asian Paints, a 78-year-old conglomerate, and Livspace, a 5-year-old tech Interior startup, and combining with learnings from ad tech from Zomato a 10-year-old homegrown Indian Unicorn to develop a common platform of use for businesses and consumers alike.
I love reading geopolitical articles when I am not running/swimming, it keeps my head clear and yearly diving, skiing, and paragliding trip helps the adrenaline gushing!
