Sundar will be responsible for further extending Quikr’s leadership in its vertical as well as marketing and revenue generation for this category.
Sundar has 15 years of experience in the Internet industry. He was the Head of Internet Channels and eCommerce at Citibank India, and the Head of Digital business at The Hindu , one of India’s respected newspapers.
Previously, Sundar headed the overall India classifieds business at Sulekha across categories such as real estate, cars and bikes and used goods. Sundar is a graduate of IIT Kharagpur and IIM-Ahmedabad.
Quikr has a large business in this category and the company’s step is in line with its strategy of going deeper in areas where it already has a leadership position in India.
Pranay Chulet, Founder & CEO of Quikr, said, “We welcome Sundar to Quikr as we go deeper in key categories and further extend our overall market leadership in the Indian classifieds industry. We already dominate services classifieds in the country and its growth is further accelerating for us. More and more consumers are using Quikr to find stuff ranging from retail services such as hobby classes and electronics repair to household service providers such as maids, cooks, drivers, plumbers and movers. We are excited to have an experienced business builder like Sundar lead our charge in this category.”
