Many of you tracking the Indian startup ecosystem will agree with me that Sameer Nigam is probably one of the finest entrepreneurs in our country today, with a deep product thinking mindset.
I have seen him at work from his Flipkart days, and now at PhonePe. He is always upping his own game and chasing impact in the true sense of the word. Thus, it comes as no surprise that the co-founder and chief executive of digital payments firm PhonePe has continually set his sights on bold and ambitious targets – the kind that has bolstered the fintech company’s position to the top of India’s cashless revolution.
In an open and honest conversation with Sameer, I found that he is more confident than ever today about PhonePe’s ability to seize the many opportunities not only in various continents, but diving deeper into the Indian market.
Sameer Nigam is the Co-founder & Chief Executive Officer at PhonePe. Before starting PhonePe, Sameer along with PhonePe co-founder Rahul Chari started digital content distribution platform, Mime360, in 2009. Mime360 was acquired by Flipkart in October 2011, and the 12-member team got absorbed by Indian ecommerce giant, Flipkart. A Wharton School-alumni, Sameer overlooked multiple functions including Business Development, Digital distribution and Marketing during his stint at Flipkart. In his last role, he left Flipkart as the Senior Vice President of Engineering.
