From a Local Chartered Accountant to a Global Chartered Accountant
Never underestimate yourself. You have to go out every single day with the mindset that you will win everyday.

My Entrepreneurial journey
Post SecondShaadi.com and Gaadi.com, in 2011, I started Groupon’s India business as the founding CEO. And led the business for 4 years until 2015. In 2013, I was also given the additional responsibility of managing Groupon APAC countries of Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines. In 2015, we did something rather audacious.Along with the core management team of Groupon India we bought the Groupon India business from Groupon and made it into an independent entity. Thus started nearbuy, which was funded by Sequoia. I acted as the CEO of nearbuy until 2019 when I stepped down, with 2 other founders running the company on a day-to-day basis. These 9 years taught me so much.
About people, about building businesses, about fundraising, about investing.More than anything else, about my own self. Who am I? What am I good at? What should I do and should not do? I became a student of consumer behavior. A student of how people think, why they behave the way they do and what drives people to work their best (or not).
In 2016, as a way to create an employer brand and attract the best talent, I started an online video series called “warikoo Wednesdays” on LinkedIn. I spoke about my experiences as a founder, a CEO and a people manager. My learning from that. And somehow that clicked!
