Rahul founded Moglix to revolutionise the traditional supply chain. Moglix provides businesses with a complete solution for sourcing and managing industrial goods. Even though Moglix faced difficulties breaking into the local market and upending the traditional supply chain, it managed to get its first order for safety shoes from Chennai. Significant turning points in the company's history were reached on January 25, 2022, when Moglix raised $250 million in a Series F funding round.

Among the many honours Rahul has received for his entrepreneurial journey are a listing in Fortune 40 Under 40 and the Business World Young Entrepreneur Award, which he received at the Young Entrepreneur Summit & Awards in 2018. He received the Entrepreneur of the Year from the Entrepreneur India Congress & Awards in 2019. Rahul Garg is currently the co-chairman of the CII Unicorn Forum and the head of the CII Delhi Startup Committee.
