Building Kridha - Shopping Intelligence for Fashion | Stanford GSB + CS

About

Started coding in my teens because I saw problems that needed solving. Built my first company in my teens—transformed my family's textile business into one of India's leading sustainable fashion brands. Then created handlooms.com and brought 100,000 artisans online for the first time. Studied Computer Science and Business at Stanford, where I realized I could use Vision AI to fundamentally change how people shop online. Now building Kridha—the intelligence layer that transforms guesswork into confidence for fashion e-commerce. 3x Founder | Self-taught coder | Stanford GSB + CS Speaker: TEDx, Intel Global HQ, Indo-US Summit, French Tech Summit, universities globally
