Akshat Agarwal — Co-Founder

I’m a second-time founder and IIT Delhi graduate, currently building Slap That Patch - a brand driven by the idea that fixing and personalising what you own should be easier (and more appealing) than replacing it. Before this, I built Broke Memers, starting it as a fast-fashion brand and growing it firsthand. While scaling, I began noticing gaps that felt increasingly hard to ignore significant waste even in recycled fabrics, and sustainability being discussed more as a narrative than something intentionally designed. Most “eco friendly” options felt either uninspiring, inaccessible, or disconnected from how people actually live. Those observations led to the creation of Slap That Patch (STP) in September 2025. The focus was clear from day one: make repair and customisation feel relevant, fun, and worth choosing. Through patches, repair first products, and practical personalisation, STP helps people extend the life of everyday items instead of treating them as disposable. More than 10,000 people began following the brand organically on Instagram, engaging deeply with content built around one core principle - 'fix before you replace'. Within 3 months we have been able to fulfil 7,000+ orders and are locked in to make sustainability a ground reality. Alongside building STP, I continue to work on Broke Memers, which is now evolving away from fast fashion toward a more intentional model - prioritising customisable products, limited runs, and designs meant to be kept and valued long-term rather than consumed as trends. Being a second-time founder has taught me that meaningful brands aren’t built by chasing speed or hype, but by focusing on utility, longevity, and genuine connection. Outside work, I’m newly engaged to my co-founder Sonal (college sweethearts turned startup partners). We love building together, spending time with stray cats (cat treats are always in my bag), and continuously learning, a habit that started during our BTech days and never really stopped.
