Former Noise CMO Gaurav Mehta joins Rukam Capital as Operating Director

Gaurav Mehta, who led Noise as chief marketing officer, has joined Rukam Capital as operating director.

He stated, "For the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of helping build some incredible start-ups—OLX, CarDekho, Zupee, Noise. Each one taught me that start-ups are a wild beast, demanding you roll up your sleeves and dive deep into the trenches."

He added, "I am joining Rukam Capital as Operating Director, where I will be working on all things marketing and growth for our portfolio companies. This new journey blends venture capital with operational guidance—a mix that feels like it’s about to create something extraordinary for founders and their teams."

He further mentioned, "The Venture Capital space is dynamic and presents a steep learning curve, but the diverse operating experience at OLX, CarDekho, and Zupee as a founder CXO gives me the required confidence to dive into it head first."

Mehta started his career as a project manager at Elephant Design and went on to work across JWT, Brand DNA, iSmart Panache, Yahoo and Zupee.
