Suchi Mukherjee is an Indian Entrepreneur, and the face behind the successful online shopping site, LimeRoad.

Founded in 2012, Suchi Mukherjee the Founder and CEO of LimeRoad, founded the company with Ankush Mehra and Prashant Malik. While Malik has parted with the organization, Mehra is still serving as the Co-founder and Director of A.M Marketplaces Pvt. Ltd., the parent company of LimeRoad, and Mukherjee is helming LimeRoad.

She aimed at creating the largest women’s-only marketplace in South East Asia. She has been conferred various awards owing to her contributions to ascending business and comprehending consumer technology. In 2011, Global Women’s Forum voted her No. 1 among 15 “Rising Talent- global leaders under 40” via World Women’s Forum. Suchi studied at St Stephen’s College in Delhi and was then enrolled in the University of Cambridge from where she received a Bachelor’s degree in Economics with Maths.

Suchi started working in a sector that was focused on Telecoms Media Technology (previously financial institutions) at Lehman Brothers Incorporation. She was a Senior Associate, Corporate Finance at the company and worked there for five years (July 1998 to June 2003). Post that, she joined Virgin Media, where Suchi became the Director of Change & Business Development and worked for 2 years. She was a member of the Consumer Division Management Team of the firm. The company grossed a revenue of $2.5 billion under her leadership. She worked there from June 2003 to May 2005.

eBay Inc was the next company that she joined. Though eBay seems to have already lost the e-commerce war in India, it looks like at least, it was previously among the e-commerce biggies. There she headed the Business Seller Programs and CS. She was a member of the UK Operating Management Team of the e-commerce portal and was prominently promoted on eBay, owing to her managerial and business skills. After 1 year, Suchi eventually emerged as the Director & Member of the Executive Management Team at Skype, which was then a subsidiary of the Pierre Omidyar-founded eBay Inc company.

She examined product and marketing, which included planning, product/UI design, payments, brand management, advertising channels, and more. She performed in the same job role from July 2007 to December 2008, before she was promoted again. Now, this time, it was GumTree, in which Suchi Mukherjee became the Managing Director & GM in January 2009. It was an eBay Inc company. She served at the company for over two years and left the job in August 2011.

LimeRoad is hailed as one of the fastest-growing digital shopping platforms in India. It is currently a 50,000+ strong women’s community. From being a startup to the LimeRoad we see today that competes with companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Snapdeal, and more, Suchi Mukherjee’s contributions are undoubtedly huge.  It was also under the leadership of Suchi Mukherjee that LimeRoad, today, boasts of having over 50 million visitors.
