Our EUREKA moment came the day we realised how much we have to
learn from each other and everyone around us - friends, family,
colleagues, classmates, the person next to us on the bus-
everyone...everywhere. People are brimming with talent– some more
developed than others, some more common than others, some more
commercial than others, some more intricate than others, some more
willing to learn and some more willing to teach. All in all, we realised
that there is so much to learn and share. As the founding contributors
and custodians of the flow of knowledge @ www.skillhippo.com we felt it’s apt to introduce ourselves!
Akshay Verma
Prior to SkillHippo, Akshay worked as a Leveraged & Acquisition Finance banker with UBS Investment Bank in London for over three years. Educated at Columbia University at the School of International and Public Affairs, Oxford University and St. Stephen’s College, Akshay has actively represented his educational institutions in international debating events, cricket and football. He has also championed social causes through his active involvement with several NGOs and UN organisations. Akshay brings a strong international perspective coupled with a dynamic skill-set to the team, and hopes to teach financial modelling at SkillHippo and learn to play bridge.
Sambuddha Bhattacharya
Sambuddha brings to the team five and a half years of diverse work experience including Consulting at KPMG, Strategy at Amarchand Mangaldas and Entrepreneurship Development & Start-up Advisory at TechnoServe. Addicted to travel, he’s covered 25 states in India in a little over 25 years! Given a chance, he would settle in Arunachal Pradesh after setting up a SkillHippo branch there [yes there's a market!]. He also advises HomeSafe, a start-up that provides chauffeur-on-hire services in Delhi NCR and mentors his other entrepreneurial friends on a regular basis. A thorough livewire, Sambuddha led the Placement Cell, the Alumni Cell and was Editor of the first all-colour Yearbook at St. Stephen’s College. With a lot to teach, Sambuddha is extremely keen to learn Tibetan language.
Raghuveer Malik
Raghuveer joins SkillHippo as the first CEO. He has spent a majority of the last three years in corporate banking, dabbling with journalism and dreaming of enterprises he wishes to create. Having learnt poker and worked at an online betting website while at the London School of Economics; Finance & Economics at Warwick Business School; some mathematics, writing skills and theatre at St. Stephen’s College; and everything else along the way, he still really needs to learn how to dance. He’s signing up for the first class on SkillHippo!
Aditya Shukla
Aditya serves as a Strategic Advisor to SkillHippo. He is currently pursuing the MBA from Harvard Business School and has four years of management consulting experience at Bain & Company behind him. His work took him to different parts of the world and across multiple industries which has fuelled his passion to transform businesses and turbo charge organisations. Aditya manages to keep varied interests outside of his work and study. Besides being an avid wildlife enthusiast, he is also fond of exploring the global food and beverage scene. He was a voracious debater during his undergraduate studies at St. Stephen’s College and currently loves to read Haruki Murakami. He is very keen on taking master classes in dessert making and film editing.
Saikat Das
With five solid years of work experience at Hindustan Unilever Limited under his belt, Saikat serves as Strategic Advisor to SkillHippo. At Unilever, amongst other things, he created India’s largest-ever retailer marketing program and led sales for India’s largest metropolitan cluster. Saikat’s interests also span varied activities outside work. A national scholarship holder in St. Stephen’s College, he has worked on nanoparticle synthesis under Prof. CNR Rao, the Science Advisor to the Prime Minister. Savouring soccer matches, getting immersed in video games, reading ebooks on the sly and a newfound love for dubstep music rank in that order in terms of his current preferences. He counts all-time high scores in "Halo 3" and "Gears of War 3" amongst his crowning achievements and wistfully yearns for the day Lionel Messi will emulate Diego Maradona in bringing the World Cup home!
Shayak Barman
Shayak serves as Strategic Advisor to SkillHippo based in London. Currently working in the Global Markets division of Deutsche Bank, he holds a degree in management from the Indian Institute of Management (Ahmedabad), a degree in economics from St. Stephen’s College (Delhi) and a degree in patience from supporting the Arsenal (Everywhere). An avid quizzer, debater and actor through school and university, Shayak now spends his spare time on pints at pub quizzes, wines at West End plays, and all the alcohol he can find around the Emirates stadium while he waits for Arsenal to finally win something. Anything. Really.

His auto-chargeable level of energy and love for working for a start-up brings him to SkillHippo. Sachet has interned in various institutions such as the Film and Television Institute of India, Phillip Morris International, LetsIntern.com and Youth Ki Awaaz.
