Glenn Gore, Group CEO, LemmaTree said, “Finding a CEO who has strong alignment to the GoodWorker vision was critical to deliver the impact that GoodWorker can have on blue/grey collar workers, this was a search that we were not going to rush or compromise on.
We wanted to make sure that the person we get to lead the company is not just result driven but is aligned with our core objective of ‘transforming lives’ of millions of youth across India. Amit is the perfect choice for the role, given his strong understanding of the industry and his belief in the purpose.

Realising this vision requires a multi-pronged approach with a strong ability to invest & execute in a sustained manner; I believe, this is something that we would be able to deliver on, especially with the partner ecosystem, the team that we have put together & given the strong backing of the Affinidi group.”
Amit Jain has graduated from Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi and has done his PGDBM in Sales & Marketing from XLRI, Jamshedpur.
