Very few people in India have built consumer platforms at the scale Shreyas Srinivasan has and even fewer have done it while still writing code.
He founded Insider in 2014 and spent a decade building it into one of India's defining live entertainment platforms, before its acquisition by Paytm and, later, by Zomato in the USD 250M District transaction. He then served as Chief Product Officer, Consumer Products at Paytm - one of India's largest financial platforms where he led product across hundreds of millions of users.
Recently, he's been involved as a Strategic Advisor at thumpN - India's first AI-native live entertainment platform. Shreyas is applying that full arc to a new question: what happens when AI is finally put to work in service of live entertainment discovery, not just recommendation engines that flatten what people find.
