With over three decades of experience across a diverse range of consumer oriented businesses like telecom, retail and consumer goods, Subir brings extensive and diverse experience in creating businesses from scratch, scaling up early stage businesses as well as running mature businesses. As a part of the startup team at The Mobile Store, he conceptualised and launched the first 200 stores of the brand.
