About

"Think about problems but focus on solutions." This simple belief has guided me through every phase of my entrepreneurial journey. I started working in my family’s textile business at the age of 15. After leading it for 7 years, I witnessed firsthand how outdated practices, lack of transparency, and inefficiencies were holding the yarn industry back—especially for small and mid-sized buyers and suppliers. That’s why I founded The Yarn Bazaar—a tech-enabled, managed marketplace that simplifies and modernizes yarn sourcing across India. At The Yarn Bazaar, we empower both yarn buyers and sellers through: - Transparent pricing and quality benchmarking - Seamless transactions and logistics - Flexible unsecured financing We’ve been fortunate to be featured on Shark Tank India, CNBC, The Hindu Business Line, and MoneyControl—but our real validation comes from the trust we’ve earned from buyers and suppliers across the country. We’re building not just a business, but a better ecosystem for textiles—one transaction at a time. Witness Our Journey at: Shark Tank India S01E13: https://youtu.be/yi8xTTuB4V0
