Sameer Ahuja

Startup generalist with hands-on experience across Founder's Office operations, D2C e-commerce growth, product strategy, business development, and fundraising support. Comfortable operating with a founder's mindset — taking ambiguous problems, building structure around them, and driving execution end-to-end across product, marketing, operations, and tech. Has taken brands 0→1 on Shopify and 6+ marketplaces, coordinated cross-functional teams, built operating systems in early-stage startups, and validated AI products through hackathons and beta users.

Targets roles where breadth, ownership, and speed of execution matter more than narrow specialisation.

Founder's Office Associate at EVA2Z (2026-04 – Present)

Working directly with the Founder & CEO across strategy, execution, cross-functional ops, product research, and pre-seed fundraising.

• Execution & closure: Converted leadership priorities into action plans, assigned owners, tracked commitments to closure — nothing dropped across fast-moving parallel workstreams.
• Operating systems: Built company-wide Notion infrastructure — project management, KPI dashboards, hiring workflows, reporting — giving Founder one consolidated view across all functions.
• Cross-functional coordination: Aligned Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Operations on sprint priorities; managed timelines, vendor/agency dependencies, and cross-team follow-ups end-to-end.
• Product & business research: Evaluated new product lines (GPS devices, crash detection, pay-as-you-drive insurance tech) and mapped partner ecosystems (OEMs, insurers, NBFCs) from market scoping to executive brief.
• Fundraising support: Built investor-ready financial models (CAC, LTV, contribution margins, payback, revenue projections) and prepared pitch materials, data rooms, and investor documentation.
• GTM strategy: Designed QR sticker → paid GPS subscription acquisition model; developed B2B and B2C go-to-market plans for connected vehicle products.

• 0→1 D2C build: Launched 2 Shopify stores end-to-end and listed across 6+ marketplaces (Amazon, Flipkart, Blinkit) — account setup, catalogue optimisation, and conversion-focused listing copy.
• Revenue & growth: Generated Rs.2,00,000+ in initial sales within 3 months on Rs.60,000 budget — managed CAC, tracked conversion funnels, iterated channel spend allocation.
• Digital marketing: Ran paid and organic acquisition across channels; managed influencer/UGC pipeline (5+ creators) for product seeding, content, and social proof.
• Offline & research: Led outreach to 40+ retail stores; gathered competitive intelligence on pricing, shelf positioning, and customer behaviour in the health/nutraceuticals category.
