Nishant Mungali is a co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Mindtickle. His background is in design, not sales. He studied communication design at IIT Guwahati.
His first job was as an interaction designer at D. E. Shaw. He then worked as a UX designer at PubMatic. Several of his later co-founders worked at PubMatic too.
Mindtickle started around 2011 with online treasure hunts for employee engagement. It later moved to onboarding and then to sales readiness, after two product changes.
In August 2021 Mindtickle raised a $100 million Series E led by SoftBank at a $1.2 billion valuation, which made it a unicorn.
