ABHINAV ASTHANA, CO-FOUNDER & CEO, POSTMAN
Abhinav Asthana’s sincerity to the product remains intact even after falling in love with computer and software as a child. The San Francisco based and Bengaluru founded company would have not seen the light of the day had it not been Asthana’s love for gaming which brought the co-founders together. When Abhinav Asthana was in grade 5 he got his first computer from his dad. As he used to play games whole day on the computer, his dad asked him to do something productive with it. Asthana soon started programming and got deep into it realizing it’s fun and interesting. Even while in school, he started doing consulting projects and started making pocket money. Reminiscing the same Abhinav Asthana, Co-founder & CEO, Postman says, “I liked it and continued doing it in my school days. Then in college I did a bunch of projects. I had built projects for others. I wanted to get into this whole idea of building products and that led to basically starting up as an entrepreneur.” After doing side gigs, Asthana started building his own startup.
