About Kumar Gaurav
Okay Kumar, so tell me about yourself...
Sure. To start with, you can call me Kumar or Gaurav, both works! (Some people go with full name, or initialst too...)
I am a little too busy in my life to mind any of that...
Born and brought up in parts of Central India, shifted to Delhi before joining college in Bangalore.
Graduated in 2018, I started working with startups and enjoyed it sooo much, that I am based out of HSR Layout now and enjoy the vast community of founders and investors here. Made a few really good friends here.
I interned and worked full time briefly as business development executive with a Flipkart funded startup, moving quickly to the software realm. Worked for 5ish years as FullStack Software Engineer with startups of various size and scale ( details below ). Enjoyed working close to founders.
To harness my new found interest in Entrepreneurship, I left Quizizz in Jan'23 and started building my own company. Lots of learnings, realised what I am good at (tech, product, analytics) and what I need to work upon (cold-communications, sales, marketing, strategies, market-research).
Looking to start working full-time again. In search of a good team and company to build amazing products. I would love to hear from you if you think there's a great opportunity for us to work together.
