Sreeraman MG
I’m the founder of Fynd. Since 2012, I’ve been building technology that connects stores, online channels, inventory, and customer experiences. Today, I’m focused on what AI can make possible for retail—and taking what we’ve learned in India to markets around the world.
We win when our customers win.
PROFILE STATEMENTMy name is Sreeraman MG. Professionally I go by SMG, and people who know me call me Ram. I’ve been making things on computers since I was twelve, when I taught myself to code and design on a shared family PC in Kerala. At seventeen I took my first paid project, a website for Foodcube in Australia, for AUD 500. I still remember the number because it was proof the thing I liked doing was worth something to a stranger.
I graduated with a civil engineering degree and took a job as a designer. The itch to build something of my own was too strong, so I did, more than once. A design agency first, then a T-shirt label, then a solo marketplace called MGeez. None of them became Fynd, and each taught me a piece of what a company is. I joined the M.Des program at IIT Bombay and left after one year, because Farooq Adam, Harsh Shah and I had started building what became Fynd. That was 2012. We’re still building it together.
Fynd is a unified commerce platform. Today it serves 2,300+ brands across more than 20,000 stores in 30-plus countries, and Reliance Industries acquired the company in 2019. As Fynd’s founder, I lead our AI product portfolio and spend a week most months in London working on our UK expansion. The job now is taking what we built and tested at India population scale to the rest of the world. We win when our customers win.
Away from work, I’m curious about coffee, geopolitics, how different cultures and countries operate and work, technology, and movies. I like noticing how the systems people live and work within shape the way they shop, build, and relate to each other.
