About Sovam Talukdar

A business generalist with 9+ years of experience across both B2B and B2C landscapes, I’ve had the opportunity to grow with some of India’s top startups — building from 0 to 1 and scaling from 1 to 10.From leading national sales teams to launching new products and expanding into untapped markets, I’ve worn multiple hats across strategy, GTM, partnerships, and growth. Currently heading the Education vertical at Magzter (Verse Innovation), I’ve previously driven market expansion and revenue growth at upGrad, CollegeDunia, Extramarks and Byju’s.Backed by a B.Tech from NIT Jamshedpur and an Executive MBA from Masters’ Union, I combine first-principles thinking with hands-on execution — always eager to solve real-world business problems at scale.
