Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAkash Hegde is a serial entrepreneur and product-focused operator with eight years of experience building and scaling B2B marketplaces from Bengaluru, having co-founded ShakeDeal and ShakePe and grown ShakeDeal into one of India’s largest B2B procurement platforms. He blends technical instincts—he still "stays sane by writing code"—with strategic investor roles at Inflection Point Ventures and early angel bets in logistics and SaaS like Shipway and Convertway. His background spans product management at fast-moving consumer tech companies (Practo, Shopee) and hands-on startup founding since 2012, giving him a rare mix of operator, builder, and evaluator perspectives. Trained in electrical and electronics engineering at top institutions, he pairs engineering rigor with commercial intuition to turn complex supply-chain and procurement problems into scalable product solutions.
