Mygate announces senior leadership elevations

Mygate, India’s leading community management platform has announced the elevation of Rohit Jindal and Pranav Shankar. Jindal has been promoted to co-founder, in addition to his continuing responsibilities as chief business officer (CBO), and Shankar to the role of chief technology officer (CTO), from his previous position as senior vice president - technology. 

With a decade’s experience in building tech-first entrepreneurial ventures, Shankar is an alumnus of the computer science department, IIT-Bombay. He joined Mygate in 2019 and since then, he has contributed significantly to Mygate: from building a large, scalable system with robust technical architecture to leading an array of product engines, such as the visitor approval system, which sees over 100 crore approvals annually, and the payments platform, which facilitates over ₹4500 crore in society dues, to the latest vertical of Smart Home devices, Pranav has helped scale Mygate in a secure and cost-effective manner. 

Jindal joined Mygate in 2017, when the company was still in its formative stages, having previously held key leadership positions at organisations such as Practo, HSBC, and Citibank. In the last 8 years, he has contributed significantly to Mygate’s journey, helping scale up from a single city to over 25,000 communities, across more than 50 cities in India. More recently, he has been instrumental in the growth of the Mygate Ad Platform, establishing Mygate as a high-impact channel for brands targeting urban households.

“In 2016, Vijay, Shreyans, and I set out to solve problems that were unique to urban Indian structures. As we created and scaled up as a category, every day is a testament to the fact that we could not have built it without the support of strong leaders like Rohit and Pranav. They embody the culture & values of Mygate, and are committed to taking us to greater heights in the years to come,” said Abhishek Kumar, CEO and co-founder, Mygate.
