• Investor and Board Member · Mystifly2010-04-01 – 2016-09-01

  I was the first institutional investor in Mystifly and invested through Via.com. I worked with Rajeev to scale the fledgling Bangalore company to become a name in its space. It scaled globally from being a Bangalore startup to 63 countries. I had given him clear goals of lets get to 25 countries in 6 months of acquisition. We achieved 16 but that set the ball rolling. I was happy to make a difference and learnt a lot in that process myself.
