Sumathi Venkitaraman

I believe in living life fully - here's some of the things that make that tagline easy - my daughter Xen, my dog Chengiz and my spouse Sunny. I live in Bangalore which is where I've been all my life save the two years in IIMC where I earned a PGDM/MBA(42nd Batch).

I love working in small, intense workplaces and fit in very well in startups and startup-like cultures. I head Marketing at (what now is) an award winning, India based software product company - CustomerXPs. I have worked at Aditi, Cognizant and HP previously. I dont believe in JDs when it comes to work and work best with people who ascribe to the same. My professional aspiration is to branch out on my own someday soon and I see every moment as a step closer to getting there.

I celebrate every little joy that comes my way. I almost always have something new going on in my life and start most of my conversations that week that way. My latest thing is my blog, so do check it out. If you think you like me so far, you're gonna love that too! I admire James Altucher, Mark Zuckerberg, Sean Parker, David Ogilvy, Al Ries, Jack Welch among many many others.

I love to stop by and admire the butterflies. I love listening to music and indulging in all things new and without boundaries.
