Gokul Krishna

Director of Engineering at Greenlight
Detailed Info

As an Engineering leader at Greenlight, I serve as one of the founding leaders of Greenlight’s India Centre, where I’ve played a key role in scaling the team and establishing our technical operations Prior to joining Greenlight, I gained valuable experience in the startup ecosystem as part of OYO, where I contributed to their rapid growth phase. My entrepreneurial journey began even earlier when I co-founded my own startup, which provided me with firsthand experience in building a business from the ground up. I thrive in startup ecosystem and am deeply passionate about solving complex problems while building and mentoring high-performance teams. Fun fact: During my time at my own startup, I was the only engineer on the team—handling backend, web, Android, and Swift development simultaneously (much before cursor or claude could do it) . Necessity truly makes you a jack of all trades.
