Siddharth Shankar

I love solving real-world inefficiencies through structured processes, creative problem-solving, and bold execution. I founded my first startup, TrippyTrips, at 18 — scaling it to ₹1 Cr+ in annual revenue with 250+ vendor partnerships like MakeMyTrip and ZoomCar. I later led Ancillary Products at The Hosteller, where I built and launched Glu, a concierge platform deployed across 50+ hostels. I’ve also worked at Amazon, driving risk mitigation projects with measurable impact. Most recently, I built Wed-E, an AI-led wedding tech startup. While we didn’t crack PMF, the experience gave me deep exposure to the emotional and operational complexity of unorganised markets and sharpened my product thinking. Currently building dining experiences at Zomato, while researching new ideas to jump back into the founder seat. I bring over 8 years of experience across strategy, growth and ops — and a strong builder’s mindset. Also a national-level footballer and sports person since childhood, I enjoy founder stories, mythology, poker, and building things from scratch. Always open to brainstorming, collaborating, or just a conversation on wild ideas.
