Shishir Goel is Managing Partner of GoGroup and heads its operation in India.

Shishir’s entrepreneurial journey began in childhood, assisting his father in a high-volume trading business where he gained early, practical insights into operations and business management. Despite initially placing limited focus on academics, his aptitude for problem-solving earned him a place at NIT Hamirpur to study Computer Engineering.

His professional career took off with the prestigious Google Summer of Code, followed by a developer role focused on creating technology products for the U.S. market. At the same time, Shishir pursued his entrepreneurial instincts by co-founding an elevator parts marketplace with friends.

Shishir later joined Fab.com, a rapidly growing e-commerce startup that achieved unicorn status. At Fab, he played a key role in integrating newly acquired businesses into its technology organization. It was during this time that he met Sascha Weiler, whose startup Casacanda had been acquired by Fab.

In 2015, Shishir became the CTO and Head of India Operations at Homebell, where he successfully built a global capability center (GCC) from scratch. Simultaneously, he partnered with Nico Weiler to establish Caroobi’s GCC in India, showcasing his ability to lead and scale engineering operations across geographies.

Recognizing the growing need for robust global engineering centers, Shishir co-founded GoGroup in 2019 alongside Sascha and Nico. Together, they envisioned building long-term, profitable ventures supported by dedicated teams that have been integral to their shared success. Today, Shishir continues to bring his technical expertise and entrepreneurial vision to GoGroup’s innovative ventures, driving impactful and sustainable growth.
