Ragini Das, leap.club founder has been appointed as the head of the startups unit at Google, where she could not make it in 2013.
Announcing the news on LinkedIn, Das described the moment as a “full-circle” professional milestone. “Life has come full circle, and I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Google as Head of Google for Startups – India,” she wrote.
Sharing more information, she said, in 2013 she interviewed at both Google and Zomato.
“I didn’t make it through Google’s last round, but I did get into Zomato — and those 6 years changed everything for me,” she said. “Zomato helped me identify my career moat, gave me lifelong friends, an incredibly steep learning curve and the resilience to eventually take the leap and co-found leap.club,” she said.
Calling leap.club her “most defining chapter,” she said it gave her “purpose, an identity and, changed lives for thousands of women.”
She added, “Through this journey, I had the privilege of connecting with founders who are tackling some of India’s most pressing challenges. When we paused operations in June this year, I wasn’t sure what the next decade would look like. I took time to relax, create art, get back into fitness, travel, pick up a few passion projects and spend countless hours photographing my dog, Jimmy.”
According to Das, she came across her current role at Google in August and said it felt like “destiny” and “perfectly aligned with my journey”.
She added, “We’re on a mission to support thriving startups around the world by connecting them to the right people, products and best practices to help them grow. More on what’s coming up in India soon.”
