KV Ravi Shekhar is Co-Founder at BCT Ventures, India's first AI-native consumer brands platform that embeds artificial intelligence across the full value chain of consumer insights, product development, and go-to-market execution.

With over 19 years of experience, Ravi built his career across eBay (Head of Digital Marketing and CRM), Vedantu (Head of Business), and as Co-Founder of Doubtnut, India's largest K-12 edtech app by daily active users, which he scaled and successfully exited via a merger with Allen in 2023.

Ravi's core belief is that great consumer companies are built by deeply understanding customer needs and executing with speed, and that AI now enables both at an entirely different scale.

At Vedantu, Ravi championed a remarkable turnaround, helping grow the company's valuation from $24M to $250M in just 15 months and facilitating a $70M fundraise; he has also served as a growth advisor to startups including Purplle, Doubtnut, and upGrad.

BCT Ventures launched in 2025 with a Rs 42 crore seed round led by 3one4 Capital, targeting India's booming nutrition and wellness market using three proprietary AI engines: Nucleus, Resonance, and Meridian.
