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."
