Instamojo, the e-commerce platform for independent business and D2C brands, has announced the appointment of Ankur Sharma as its Co-founder. Sharma will play a key role in building and growing Instamojo’s ecommerce product line, including an online store builder and smart pages.

Prior to being on-boarded to the founding team, he was the Vice-President of Analytics at the firm.

Sharma said, “Instamojo has been a highly rewarding experience for me so far, and I am grateful for the opportunities I have had to contribute to the growth of the brand, from a FinTech platform to a digital solution provider. Today, with the e-commerce sector on the rise, Instamojo has tailored tools to enable small and medium businesses in the country to operate digitally. In my new role as co-founder, my goal is to take Instamojo to new heights and ensure that our products provide innovative support for small businesses.”
