Vikas, an engineer by profession, spent his early years in Assam, Gujarat, and Rajasthan. Around the turn of the millennium, computers piquéd his interest. After college, Vikas spent 15 months working at SAP Labs where he familiarized himself with how product-based companies operate, and how they are structured. But, when he had to choose between a...
In 2008, Vikas joined his friend Lalit Mangal to build CommonFloor, a real estate portal that combines property search, apartment management, and vendor management.
