Suchi Mukherjee, Founder & CEO, Limeroad

Building and scaling businesses focused on simple, yet powerful consumer products have been her dream; and this has come to life at Skype, eBay/Gumtree and now most recently at LimeRoad. At LimeRoad, Suchi’s single mission is to disrupt the apparel sector by injecting technology, design, community content and operations, thereby creating for Indian users, the most delightful fashion discovery platform. LimeRoad is today the fastest growing fashion platform as well as the most profitable. Our engagement and conversion rates to sales are the highest in the country.

Earlier, at eBay/Gumtree, Suchi built the UK's largest horizontal classifieds business. In two years, she and her team went from a No. 3 position to market-leading positions in jobs and consumer-to-consumer car sales, growing visits by 35% y-o-y in the UK (marketing spend remaining unchanged). Gumtree required transformational leadership

Prior to this, Skype was her powerful leadership development experience - being part of the executive management team of a high growth technology company, transitioning from founder–led-startup with 3 CEO changes in 2 years, whilst also building the most dramatic upgrade of the product. What a roller coaster, but not one to trade out of!
