About Sankar

After finishing his degree at National Institute of Technology in Calicut, Sankar joined Tavant Technologies as an associate project manager. He then got involved in start-ups, co-founding several and investing in and advising others. He was a member of the founding team at fashion e-commerce company Myntra, and launched ed tech company, AEON Learning (Avaghmah), taking a role as COO.

In 2014, he and his friend Vineet Rao began having frequent discussions about potential mass-market start-ups. Then, one night in 2018 as Sankar was walking home, Rao called him and told him to come right away to meet about a new idea with huge potential. Bora immediately turned around. The discussion flowed for several hours. Within weeks, a team was formed, launching DealShare, with the aim to bring discounted locally-sourced essentials to rural, first-time internet users, using social media messaging apps and gamification, an idea that captivates him to this day.
