“When I was a boy my father used to take me around to different factories. I was always amazed to see how many workers were in them. I saw the backbone of the Indian economy. As an adult, I realized I wanted to build a system that would serve their needs and the world’s.“

About Pawan

Pawan Gupta got his start as an analyst for Deutsche Bank before founding Curofy, a networking and discussion app for medical doctors. After selling it, he invested in several startups, and then started Fashinza, a fashion and home manufacturing platform.

Pawan was born in a small manufacturing town and he sees Fashinza as a way to empower entrepreneurs like the ones he grew up with to start and grow their businesses, and get fair prices for goods they’re proud to make. In his spare time, Pawan volunteers with environmental organizations and supports microloan charities.
