MUMBAI: Rajiv Malhotra has packed his bags for a fresh adventure, joining 12Go as chief product officer, and adding another heavyweight chapter to a career that's criss-crossed e-commerce, travel, media, mobile, and logistics.

An MBA from NTU Singapore and a citizen of Singapore with OCI status in India, Malhotra brings 25 years of razor-sharp product expertise to the role — across start-ups and blue-chip giants alike. Whether it’s managing $100 million+ P&Ls, pioneering UX strategies, scaling digital businesses, or launching SaaS solutions, he’s left an unmistakable signature on every stop.

Before this, he steered digital media products at SPH Media, led logistics products at Gojek, advised start-ups, and even brewed success as an entrepreneur with Hotellauncher.com. Past tours of duty also include Expedia, MakeMyTrip, Yatra, and Yahoo! SEA, where he was at the bleeding edge of product innovation and digital transformation.

From product vision to UX design, Malhotra is passionate about building tech solutions that actually make life easier (and a lot more profitable). A self-confessed Kombucha enthusiast and amateur chef when off-duty, he knows a thing or two about the perfect blend — whether in the kitchen or in code.
