Sachin Bansal
CEO of Chaitanya Rural Intermediation and Development Services
After completion of his degree, Sachin Bansal joined Techspan company where he has served for few months. In 2006, he joined Amazon.com India as a Senior Software Engineer. Then he got Binny Bansal into Amazon.com and after 6 months they both decided to leave Amazon. They initially thought of starting a comparison search engine but realized that the market for E-commerce in India was very small. Hence, after leaving Amazon in 2007, they founded Flipkart as an E-commerce company. Sachin Bansal and his business partner Binny Bansal launched Flipkart from an apartment in Bangalore with 400,000 rupees ($6,500) cash. In 2007 during the early days of Flipkart Sachin Bansal and his business partner Binny Bansal used to deliver books across Bengaluru on their scooters and in October 2015 they showed up at the doorsteps of some customers, personally delivering goods in order to gain insights from the online buyers.

Apoorv Shankar
Co-Founder and CEO of Lazy Co.
A Product Designer and an Instrumentation Engineer. I design Hardware products that are easy to use. As a kid, I remember getting irritated by products which took a lot of steps to complete a task, had sharp edges, caused accidents, required more work than necessary, I often used to kick and break such frustrating products. My parents used to tell me to “be more careful” and its not the product’s fault. It was during my final year of engineering that I realized that it was never really my fault, it was the product’s. Digging deeper, I realized there was something called “Product Design” and the ignorance of this, was to blame for all those irritating products we have hated all our lives. And now, I am working on my startup Lazy Co designing products that incorporate the tiniest principles and nuances of Product Design and User Experience to create the Laziest ways to get things done.
