These additions to the executive team underscore Kong’s commitment to enhancing its organizational sales capabilities and delivering exceptional customer and employee experiences.

Gunjan holds a BS in Electronics & Communications from Jamia Millia Islamia in New Delhi, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude. She earned an MBA in HR from XLRI in Jamshedpur, where she was the valedictorian for two consecutive years and won the Citibank Leadership Award. Additionally, she completed several HR management courses at Harvard University.

Gunjan Aggarwal is known for her ability to develop high-performing teams and implement strategies that drive organizational success. She has also served on advisory boards for CanGrade and Rubia in the past, contributing her insights to support innovation in HR and non-profit initiatives.
