Beas Dev Ralhan

I am an entrepreneur and investor with passion towards B2C business ideas that using technology can bring a change in overall value preposition for customer. Currently, I am leading a talented team at Next Education to transform a fast growing startup into most respected education services provider in India.

I started my career with a security and Internet gateway solution start-up. Later, I joined other entrepreneurs and worked on various India focused eCommerce ventures such as Internet cash card (lookforgreen.com) and developed my own idea, peer-to-peer betting site (betaday.com). After that I was involved with PartyGaming that grew from start-up to be a FTSE 100 company.

I love consumer commerce through any channel. I have worked with all major retailers such as Neiman Marcus, JcPenney, Target, FoodLion, and Polo Ralph Lauren. Furthermore, I have implemented business solutions such as Multi Channel Commerce or Master Data Management at few of the largest retailers in USA.

I have worked across countries (UK, USA, India, Gibraltar) with multi-cultural, multi-national and multi-lingual teams. This international exposure has tremendously diversified my perspective and enabled me to gain insights on work cultures in other countries.

I am avid open source software movement enthusiast. I enjoy reading books that cover any aspect of business management and magic realism.
