Tongadive Flagship Product
Making it happen
Tongadive is a brainchild of Anubha. Having spent 20 years in software development, working with big and small firms, it is safe to say that Anubha knows software product development inside out. Notwithstanding a decorated educational background - an Engineering degree in Computer Science, a Masters in Communication Technology and a Leadership Diploma in Strategy and Innovation from University of Oxford, it is Anubha’s passion, driven by a sense of adventure that has culminated in the birth of Tongadive. At Tongadive, Anubha plays the role of MD and CEO apart from being its employee # 1. She heads product design and development bringing Tongadive’s vision to life. Until she decided to take the plunge, Anubha was pursuing a successful career at Syncsort, a data quality and management leader, as development leader for UK. Paucity of women entrepreneurs in technology has only served to further fuel her fire to succeed. Balancing this fire is her deep commitment to social causes – she is a founding trustee of Pumpkin Seeds, a charity working to provide opportunities to the girl child through high quality education.
