Sid is a co-founder and partner at Lightbox.

He moved to India in 2001 to found Evolv, a vocational training company funded by Singapore Technologies. Over 6 years, Sid grew Evolv to 300 employees training and assessing over 20,000 people a year across 200 cities in South Asia, East Asia and the Middle East. In 2007, he eventually sold it to NIIT – Asia’s largest training company. He worked with NIIT for 3 years heading Evolv as well as Litmus and Uniqua (NIIT's foray into assessments and JV with Genpact). In 10 years of leading Evolv, Sid became a master in education technology (and continues to explore advancements in this market at Lightbox.)

An entrepreneur at heart, Sid left NIIT to get back in to the startup game. Over the next few years leading up to Lightbox, he has advised several startups, angel funds, and a very special NGO called Magic Bus.

As enterprising at play as he is at work, he launched a restaurant called The Hungry Monkey, which has won multiple national awards and international recognition.
