GANDHARV BAKSHI

I’ve been with startups for 15+ years, either as a founder or as an early “gets things done” leader (Ather Energy, apna Jobs, Headfone, Internshala) with functional expertise in Consumer Product/Marketing and 0 to 1 initiatives. I have always bought in the first revenue at consumer startups and have built communities. I bought in first revenue at Lumos(Smart backpacks) as a founder, as GM,Marketing at Ather Energy (Electric Vehicles), as Head of Business at Headfone (audio entertainment) and Director of new Initiatives for Skilling vertical at apna jobs (Jobs platform). I have built communities (built customer community at Ather, creator community at Headfone and user community at apna Jobs). Currently I am a fractional CSO at Internshala, where I lead annual planning, growth levers, building consumer-orientation and am overseeing fundraising. An ex-entrepreneur, I am a Product-Oriented Consumer Leader specializing in 0 to 1 initiatives.
