Suchi Mukherjee, Founder & CEO, LimeRoad.com comments “Our mission is to build the most extensive lifestyle discovery platform from South-East Asia. We are absolutely thrilled that Prashant is joining us on the core founding team. Prashant and I have had a shared vision on LimeRoad.com - very glad that he has been able to make the move from California. He is a phenomenal technologist with a dream that matches ours and the very same passion for driving change and innovation that is so core to LimeRoad.com’s culture. Prashant obsesses, not only about infinitely scalable distributed systems that will lie at the heart of our back-end, but also, together with me, the visualization and discovery of the rich merchandise that the back-end enables, on to our front-end as well as on social platforms. We are a unique combination of specialists tied with the same core values on this team, and Prashant’s addition to the core founding team reflects that very ethos.”
