Since the launch of Quora Ads a little over two years ago, it had several Indian brands succeed in reaching their audience on Quora across a variety of verticals, including State Bank of India, Flipkart, Dell, Samsung, IBM Developer and UpGrad.

Gurmit is a business administration graduate from the Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) at the University of Delhi.

In the next few months, Gurmit will also help open Quora’s first office in India as he builds a team to support businesses in the India market. Our audience in India is curious and engaged and we are very excited to further our investment in the market to support both users and businesses on the Quora platform.
