Sanjeev Barnwal is an Indian entrepreneur and Co-founder of Meesho.[1][2]
Early life[edit]
Barnwal was born in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand, India till Class X and brought up in Ranchi[3][4], where he did his Class XI and XII. He completed a bachelor's degree in computer Science at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. He created an app for visually impaired people to recognise the denominations of Indian currency.
Career[edit]
He started his career with Sony in Japan. He was a part of the core tech team that developed the company’s digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR), and Sony’s Cyber-shot cameras. While Sanjeev was happy at Sony and learnt a lot during his time in Tokyo, he couldn’t ignore the niggling feeling that he was meant to start something on his own. This, coupled with the passion to build tech, led him to start up with a couple of his other Indian colleagues in Japan, a year before he left the country.
In 2015, while he was still in Tokyo, he received interest from a few Indian startups that wanted him to help them with natural language processing (NLP). This made Barnwal realize that the startup ecosystem in India had arrived. He backed to India and Co-founded Meesho with Vidit Aatrey in Bengaluru[5][6][7]
