Mumbai: India’s pioneer oral and skin makeover umbrella brand, MakeO, announced Japan Doshi as its new chief product and technology officer. Purple Quarter, a global bespoke CTO search firm, was the C-suite search partner for the role.
Together with MakeO, Purple Quarter devised a custom plan to evaluate the company’s problem statement, understand its long-term vision, and accordingly map and locate the best fit. It was imperative to have someone with a diverse portfolio and in-depth knowledge of the tech landscape. Japan Doshi proved to be the right fit as per the company’s expansion goals and culture. With over 20 years of tech industry experience, Doshi has worked across multiple products and domains, including his decade-long stint at Amazon.
Commenting on the appointment, MakeO co founder & CEO Arpi Mehta said, "We at MakeO, aim to democratise access to advanced smile and skin makeover solutions by leveraging technology in a big way. To better our tech platform, we wanted a seasoned professional who can execute this vision and is also a natural organizational fit. I am delighted to welcome Japan on board. His expertise and knowledge base will help us scale the business, moving forward. A special thanks to the Purple Quarter team for being an exceptional search partner and identifying the right leader for us."
Purple Quarter Founder & Group CEO Roopa Kumar shared, "MakeO sought out an outstanding product and tech leader—one who would shape up their 1–10 product journey, consecutively build the tech infrastructure for 10-100, and offer relevant solutions for long-term scale. They have made great strides with a trusted and easily accessible product suite (Toothsi and Skinsi) in a short time. Taking the business to the next level of scale required someone who could seamlessly wear the product and technology hats. Japan, with his deep-set expertise, possesses farsightedness and is undoubtedly the perfect match. Thank you, Dr. Arpi for entrusting Purple Quarter; I wish MakeO and Japan a successful partnership."
Japan Doshi commented, "I am thrilled to be a part of the highly talented team at makeO to help build the largest clinical beauty technology platform for the masses. Incredibly thankful to Purple Quarter for connecting me with this opportunity. As the chief product and technology Officer, I will help strengthen the product and tech vision, architecture and build up to achieve MakeO’s bold vision. I appreciate team Purple Quarter’s meticulous and thoughtful support in the end-to-end process."
