Several Indians have founded startups in the country and outside India and successfully led their brands. One such person is Ankiti Bose, who co-founded Zilingo, a Singapore-based fashion tech firm. The 31-year-old co-founded Zilingo with Dhruv Kapoor in 2015. The company's valuation reached around Rs 7000 crore in 2019, as per reports.
However, after allegations of financial discrepancies and giving herself a 10X salary hike without the company's board approval, she was fired from the firm. She was leading Zilingo as CEO but was fired from the company in May 2022. She was also accused of making USD 10 million worth of 'unexplained payments' to various vendors, a report by Inc42 stated.
Born in Dehradun, Bose worked at McKinsey & Company and Sequoia Capital before launching her own brand in 2015. Bose quit his job as an investment analyst at Sequoia Capital to launch Zilingo. She was 23 years old when she founded her first startup.
