Welcome to our section where we bring you stories and conversations with inspirational women. These women have changed lives and given back to the community in their own way. Today, Dania Faruqui, Revenue & Ops Manager at Glance shares her story.
Dania Faruqui, a chemical engineer from NIT Bhopal completed her MBA from IIM Indore. Like most B-school graduates, she was drawn towards the glamorous world of consulting and started off her career at Ernst & Young. While she loved the life that she was living, she wanted to be in the space where most innovations are happening: startups. She developed an interest in social e-commerce, a field that is completely new in India with few players working on it. Dania became a founding team member at ShopG, a social e-commerce platform for the next billion users.
After scaling multiple categories there, she now manages revenue and operations of the e-commerce arm of Glance, the 3rd largest content consumption platform in India. Dania also has been a Top Writer at Quora twice where she used to write earlier and has been recognised as one of the ‘LinkedIn Top Voices – NextGen, 2021.
