END of an era called Jabong

Feb 2020 - The poster-child of India's Fashion-Ecommerce Jabong has been shut down by its parent Flipkart.

Founded in 2012, Jabong accounted for 25% market share in India’s F&L e-commerce market in 2014 and was one of the most loved brands in India.

Run by an amazing team of highly-passionate & extremely-committed people, Jabong was industry-first in taking/launching multiple initiatives including "Next Door", "Same Day Delivery", "India Online Fashion Week", etc.

I was fortunate enough to be part of its glorious journey.

My heart cries to see it get shut.

Remembering all those visionary heads / leaders and all the awesome team members who built Jabong with their sweat & blood:

Business heads:
Heavent Malhotra, Praveen Sinha, Arun Chandra Mohan, Manu Kumar Jain, Mukul Bafana

Product / Tech / Design leaders:
Harsh Kundra, Ambrish Bajaj, Rajat Shikhar, Rohan Garg, Anish Nair, Parveen Verma, Gautam Malik, Anjani Bajpai

Category / Ops leaders:
Siddharth Nambiar, Rooh Ruksh Chatterji, Dharmender Dabral, Amit Singh, Amit Kumar, Prashanti Alagappa, Neerajh Vohraa, Kritidipta Lahkar, naveen garg, Puneet Gupta, Mayank Shivam, Rukaiya Rangwala, Vijay Ghadge, Rishi Patnaik, Gautam Pande, Mini sharma, Baldeep Singh, Vineet Baid, Saurabh Bansal
