Kunal Bahl

Kunal Bahl is a reputed Indian technology entrepreneur and investor.

Kunal is the co-founder of Snapdeal, one of India's leading e-commerce platforms. Founded in 2010, Snapdeal focuses on the value commerce market in India and has served over 10 crore online shoppers over the last 16 years.

He is the co-founder of Titan Capital, through which he has invested in more than 250 start-ups over 12 years across consumer tech, health tech, fintech, SaaS, consumer brands, and B2B platforms in companies like Ola, Urban Company, Razorpay, OfBusiness, Mamaearth, and Credgenics among others.

Kunal is also the promoter of Unicommerce eSolutions Limited, India's leading e-commerce enablement SaaS company, which is listed on the NSE and BSE.

Snapdeal, Titan Capital, and Unicommerce value access, affordability, and scale as they target most middle-class, value-seeking non-metro customers. From the assortment to the price point, everything demonstrates dedication to democratizing value commerce across the country.

What motivates Kunal Bahl in this journey is his vision for value commerce in Bharat. He remarked, “New partnerships, events, and product launches are often celebrated as an indication of success. But it shows dilution of focus, only wanting to achieve the next big thing. Meanwhile, there are founders who solve the problem statement deeper. The real value creation happens between events and awards”, in an interview with TechSparks in 2023. He also added, “In our company, if you wake up any of our team members at 3 A.M. from their sleep and ask them ‘What are the goals of Snapdeal?’ They wouldn’t even hesitate to answer you with our top three quantitative goals. This understanding cascades down from Rohit and me to everyone else in the company”.

Kunal Bahl is the promoter and Joint Managing Director of AceVector Limited, the parent company of Snapdeal, Unicommerce, and Stellaro Brands.

Currently, he chairs the Confederation of Indian Industry Startup Committee, is a member of India's National Startup Advisory Council, and has appeared as a panelist on Shark Tank India for Seasons 4 and 5.

Kunal graduated from the Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology at the University of Pennsylvania and holds degrees in engineering and business from the Wharton School, as well as an executive marketing certification from the Kellogg School of Management.

He worked briefly with Microsoft in the US before his H1B visa was rejected in 2007. That became a catalyst in his entrepreneurial journey as he returned to India and later founded Snapdeal and Titan Capital.
