Pandey comes with experience of a four-year stint at Amazon and three years with Flipkart. After completing his MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management, he joined travel and holiday information portal HolidayIQ as vice president. He has also worked with IBM in the past. Most recently, he was based out of US and was advising startups out of MIT.

Sinha said Pandey has been part of launching and scaling several products and services at Amazon, IBM and Flipkart, where he was one of the early guys. "At Flipkart, Vaibhav played a key role in building categories, systems and teams from scratch to scale and managed P&L and strategic brand and vendor partnerships in US, Europe, China and India," Sinha said.
