Ganesh Subramanian — CEO
With over two decades of deep involvement in the entire spectrum of fashion and lifestyle retail—from fiber production to final sale—I have developed a keen understanding of the industry's significant inefficiencies and environmental impacts. My extensive experience with global brands revealed a disturbing reality: around 50% of products are ultimately unwanted by consumers, leading to over USD 600 billion in annual economic waste and substantial environmental harm. Fashion ranks among the top three industries for carbon footprint, alongside oil and food, yet struggles with low profitability. Recognizing the critical need for transformative change, I have pivoted towards spearheading sustainable innovations that prioritize both economic viability and environmental stewardship. My team and I employ cutting-edge technology and a shift in thinking to revolutionize the industry by putting consumer needs and sustainability at the core of our operations. Importantly, our approach addresses the pressing issue of production waste from its inception, a significant yet often overlooked challenge. Fashion's complexity in managing supply and demand has not only sharpened our skills but also provided us with the scalable tools and insights necessary to extend our sustainable practices beyond fashion to other consumer goods sectors. This cross-industry applicability of our solutions marks a pivotal expansion in our mission. I invite you to join this transformative journey. Your collaboration is crucial as we unite to implement impactful, scalable solutions across multiple industries, addressing some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
