More about Sumedha Mahajan
Head of Marketing, India @ Ampverse l Ex-MPL, Paytm l Startup Advisor I GrowthX Mentor & Demo Day Finalist I Mental Health Advocate
I build brands.
I enjoy the 0-1, 1-10 journey and have setup processes from scratch.
A true believer in leveraging multiple channels, I have been fortunate to work across a spectrum of channels and scales. From doing co-branded campaigns with the likes of Coca Cola, to creating a GTM strategy focused only on user experience for Paytm's loyalty program. From driving promoter-led BTL campaigns in Rajasthan's by lanes to marketing and launching the Indian cricket team jersey twice. I am currently helping write the next big chapter for gaming in India, as head of marketing fo Ampverse India geo.
Skilled in Growth and GTM Strategy, Large scale campaigns, Partnerships, with a strong flair for written and oral communication. Proven leadership skills with an MBA focused in Marketing from Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies. I started studying psychology primarily because of my volunteer work in mental health, but found it to be of immense value in my marketing journey.
The proudest moment in my career was seeing a footage of the WC Jersey launch led by me, being showcased in the middle of a live international match, for millions of fans worldwide.
Apart from work, I spend my time on a few things which I believe continuously add value to my growth.
One, I write weekly at https://shadesandmuses.substack.com/. Most of my writing is based on stories and observations from my daily life. This has been an excellent creative outlet and helps me communicate better.
Two, I conduct sessions for women on negotiation skills. This is primarily because I realised women are terrible at it. A Yale course, many books and lots of research later, I realized how bad it really was. I now do my bit.
Third, I continuously upskill and learn. Every year I take a full course (Yale's renowned negotiation course, GrowthX, M.A. Psychology, ) and some smaller ones for professional and personal development. Eg: World's most popular online course on The Science of happiness. I believe this is the only way to grow.
As an extension of this, I've also represented India as a delegate in International conferences which have greatly contributed to my learning curve.
Off work, I am a voracious reader, mental health advocate and foodie.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"I have evolved from role of Community Builder to Startup Consultant to Startup Ecosystem Enabler to Angel Investor and now launching a Venture Studio and eChai has been a catalyst in my overall journey as Startup Evangelist since 13 years."
Mehul Shah
Co-Founder at Counselvise & Ivy Growth
"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
