Nirav Mehta

Nirav started his first venture in 1998, while still in college - India's first electronic magazine. That's not a detail he leads with, but it explains a few things: why he's comfortable building before there's a blueprint, why he's been thinking about digital products longer than most people in the room, and why he ended up running multiple product companies simultaneously rather than one at a time like a sensible person.

He ran a web services agency for twelve years, then pivoted to products - building Putler (business analytics for eCommerce), StoreApps (WooCommerce plugins), and Icegram (email marketing and popups). Three brands, one team, running in parallel. He's authored two books published by Packt, led the Gujarati localization of Linux and OpenOffice, and spoken at WordCamps and industry events about the things that actually work.

His current interests: practical AI, automation, and the analytics that help businesses make better decisions - rather than just giving them more numbers to ignore.
