About Sneha Saigal

With an MBA focused on entrepreneurship, from IESE Business School, Barcelona, Sneha learned to leverage her expertise across industries from consulting to non-profits until she founded and launched Geeks&Experts.

From grassroots developmental organizations such as The Akanksha Foundation to food-tech unicorns (now IPO) such as Zomato, she has focussed on marketing and business development across the spectrum. But, creating value has been at the center of it all, always!

Her curious spirit and strive to create impact through learning and collaborations have led me to galvanize reform through initiatives such as “Liberal Arts in Prison” programs and social impact enterprises in a variety of landscapes such as Iowa.

A certified WSET sommelier, I have a penchant for scarves, dark chocolate, and great workouts!
